This isn't really Sony's fault. Discovery (who owns all these shows) are pulling them. Discovery sold them to people via the Playstation network. They sold them there and took your money. Now they want you to sign up to HBOMax to watch their dumb weak ass garbage.

Well whoever is taking them away should reimburse the clients if they were not made aware that they didn’t own the show but were just renting it.

These behaviors are dangerous and shouldn’t be legal. You press « buy », you own the product, not the right to watch it for a few years.

disingenuously points to the indecipherable ToS

[–] assa123@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

and that's why it should be illegal, the big "buy" button ahould have higher precedence over any "renting" claims in the ToS and any attempt of misrepresentation should be fined.
