Sony is contacting PlayStation Store users who bought movies<\/a> from the platform that were distributed by StudioCanal\u2014like Terminator 2,\u00a0Total Recall, and\u00a0Confessions of a Dangerous Mind\u2014to say that \u201cyou will no longer be able to access your previously purchased content from Studio Canal, and it will be removed from your video library.\u201d There\u2019s no mention of any refunds or make-goods for the affected users. Sony simply says the films are going away \u201cdue to our content licensing agreements,\u201d once again reaffirming the fact that you are never truly buying anything that\u2019s digital, just temporarily renting it.<\/p>\n

This news was brought to people\u2019s attention by X user somatyk, who posted the notification they had received from PlayStation this week. Along with the unapologetic news that the purchased movies would be deleted from their account on September 1, the message concluded with, \u201cClick here for a full list of affected titles that will no longer be supported. Thank you.\u201d The same warning is now reproduced in full on the PlayStation website<\/a>, along with the list of\u00a0551 films and TV series that are being pulled from people\u2019s libraries.<\/p>\n

StudioCanal is the production company behind classic movies like From Dusk Till Dawn and\u00a0Cliffhanger, all of which are included in the list of films people thought they\u2019d bought to own, but come September 1 will find gone from their collections. What\u2019s really peculiar about the PlayStation message is that it\u2019s entirely unapologetic, simply stating that \u201cpurchased content\u201d will be \u201cdeleted\u201d as if that\u2019s perfectly normal. We\u2019ve contacted Sony to ask if customers can expect a refund for their deleted movies, or at least some form of compensation.<\/p>\n

Of course, when you scroll past the endless EULAs when you first use your PlayStation, and click \u201cAgree\u201d the first time you load the store, you\u2019re unwittingly agreeing that nothing you buy is really truly bought, and that it can be taken away from you at any point, and there\u2019s nothing you can do. The same is true of your games.<\/p>\n

This is why people care so much<\/a> about details like GTA 6 releasing without a disc in its physical box<\/a>, and it underlines the risk we all take every time we buy anything from any digital store. None of it actually belongs to you, and you can only access it for as long as the company you bought it from says you can.<\/p>\n
