The reality of “buying” digital goods.

The reality of “buying” digital goods. Looks like Paramount pulled its Star Trek content on Amazon Prime, even if you purchased it.

They can take it away from you, whatever its your choice and if they are nice they might refund you.

@obrhoff this is why if I'm buying something it's physical… everything else is just "renting"

[obrhoff@mastodon.social]

@wojtek Even thats not true anymore. PlayStation games get released on Disc which are basically empty and kick off a 100GB downloads. Just a fancy DRM Token.

@obrhoff yeah… never been a fan of Sony - they always do stuff like this… everyone used universal SD cards but no, SONY had to force their own propriatery crap

Alas - bluerays can be DRMed?

@wojtek Well they were bashing Xbox in 2013, when they also tried to do a similar thing.

I don’t think you can kill a Disc but you certainly can blacklists console. Nintendo is not better with their Gamecards.

@obrhoff yeah, I remember the xbox uproar (dear lord, it was more than a decade ago

Still, we have to resist as much as we can…
