    Worth noting this is specifically ~200 movie titles purchased in the PlayStation store in the UK due to licencing changes. So still shit, but not as bad as the headline implies.

    Personally I’ve given up purchasing movies or TV shows at all because they keep getting deleted from my libraries over time without warning. I agree with the article that the word “purchase” itself is misleading and it should be changed to something like “licence” or “rent forever” instead.

      ~200

      “551 titles” - 43 TV show seasons = 508 movies?

      “Sony already pulled 314 StudioCanal titles from libraries in Germany and Austria in 2022. More recently, Sony deleted people’s Funimation digital libraries”

        Yes you’re right. The font on the website is really hard for me and I must have read the 5 as a 2. Thanks for the correction :)

        Isn’t Funimation dead now? I remember something happening to them at least.
