Sony says Mythbusters and more Discovery TV shows are going away whether you bought them or not

PlayStation To Delete A Ton Of TV Shows Users Already Paid For::Sony says Mythbusters and more Discovery TV shows are going away whether you bought them or not

I wonder if the studios understand how much they are going to be shaking confidence in digital purchases by doing this. I know I’m going to think twice before I pay money for another digital copy of a movie or TV show.

Maybe they are fine with that? As in they prefer the streaming deals / subscriptions, specially if they have their own platform.

That’s almost certainly what’s really happening. They regret selling media to you permanently so now they’re trying to claw it back and make you pay them again.

That is literally always what is going on.

Seeing how many scandals the big media companies have been in and literally nobody cares because the world is horrible and all we have left are these artificial dopamine sinks they call franchises which we desperately cling onto despite fully knowing that we are making rich assholes who caused all this even richer, don’t hold your breath.

I am even over Netflix, let alone relying on digital purchases, lol, when BLM happened they pulled 2 episodes of community and as we all know since then, no black people have been brutalized by police in the US, true heroes Netflix are…
