Sony is erasing over 550 movies from PlayStation libraries without offering a single refund. If clicking "Buy" only grants access until a corporate licensing deal expires, the service is fundamentally broken.

    Sony, and to a slightly lesser extent Microsoft are fairly well shielded against piracy. They can do what they want and the console peasants will have to just shut up and take it because its not like you can afford to just buy a gaming PC in this economy.

    A lot of steams customer base still has a tan-line where their eyepatch was. They know they can lose their customers at a moments notice so they actually have to try.

    Honestly, I hope more and more people will just go into Piracy. People deserve to actually own what the purchase and if they do not own it after purchase, there’s no reason to spent money on it. Unless it is explicitly written in the policy that it is a rent.

    It should he forced to be called “rent” and not “buy”

      Also shouldn’t be full priced if you dont get full ownership (or any ownership at all)

      I was thinking of this using the google / epic Linux judgment to get a steam app on PlayStation and just have it run proton on PlayStation since the arch is the same as a PC at this point.
