Boot licking victim blaming at its finest. What about Sony's responsibility not to steal your shit? Responsibility for the consumer, never the corporation.
Comment on PlayStation To Delete A Ton Of TV Shows Users Already Paid For
wrath_of_grunge@kbin.social 10 months agoprotip: don't delete receipts.
most email storage these days is so rediculously huge, there's no reason to delete those emails. make a folder for them (Playstation receipts, Steam receipts, etc).
that said, physical media is on it's way out. i'd be surprised if the next gen of systems is even offered with a disc drive. at this point, most games are way more data than a Blu-Ray can hold.

Nowhere did they victim blame, they just gave a tip
No idea where you got that from…

If you want to wage a war against everyone and everything, go right ahead.
But in the meantime, save your receipts.

Physical media really doesn’t help, because many games are delivered with bad bugs. These are fixed by updates. Unless you can actually download and archive the updates, reinstalling a deleted/corrupted game from backup media alone is impossible.
What is needed is a consumer bill of rights that requires companies to provide the purchased game with the latest update to the buyer upon request should they abandon it. If the game requires a server, that software code should be made public domain. An abandoned online game’s copyright should also be voided. That would allow the gaming community to legally provide updates and servers for continued use.

Another problem with physical media is games are quickly becoming, and often already are, bigger than a disc can hold. Even a dual layer UHD-Blu-ray is “only” 100gb.
At this rate next gen consoles are gonna have to follow Nintendo and go back to cartridges if they wanna keep physical media an option. Not that I’m opposed to that.
