Sony is going to remove certain purchased titles from user libraries

As always, the paying user has the worst experience. "Purchase" a show, can only watch on a certain console of a certain brand, no transfers, no backups, then it suddenly disappears from the library and nothing can be done.
If media companies insist on draconian DRM, then they should pay for full refunds to their loyal customers when one day they decide to delist that specific show.

Sadly purchasing a phyical copy still will mean you can't play it due to the required download for most consoles these days.
That's one reason I've ordered a few titles from PlayAsia recently. For example, the NTSC switch edition of the Metal Gear Solid collection requires downloading the titles. With the PlayAsia edition, lo and behold- everything is on the card, and multiple languages to boot.
Never heard of that before today, that's fucked, why even is that a thing?
Some places have crappy internet, so they need it
You and I can download a 1300MB game, it's not necessarily so in Brunei
Hence “and enjoy it whenever and wherever I want.” If they maintain control, it’s not sold. It is, at best, rented.
Fortunately, there are often tools to enforce the first sale doctrine.
