PlayStation to Remove Purchased Discovery Shows from User Libraries
Over 1,300 seasons of shows to be deleted due to licensing issues, leaving users without access to their purchased content.
- PlayStation is removing all purchased Discovery shows from user libraries due to licensing arrangements, effective from December 31, 2023.
- Over 1,300 seasons of shows will be removed, including popular titles like 'MythBusters', 'Cake Boss', and 'Deadliest Catch'.
- Users who have previously purchased these shows will lose access to them permanently.
- This is not the first time PlayStation has removed purchased content; last year, content from Studio Canal was also removed due to licensing issues.
- The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has clarified that consumers only buy a limited, revocable license to enjoy digital products, not the products themselves.
