SONY CAN DELETE EVERYTHING YOU BOUGHT after the disc announcement, players did something sony probably never expected: they started reading the terms of service. line by line. here's what's in there: - moving to another country? sony is the only major platform that does not allow you to change your account region. the official suggestion: create a new account. everything you ever bought stays locked to the old one - go inactive for 36 months, and sony may move to close your account. you get one email and six months to respond. after that, in the document's own words: "account closure is irreversible." the library goes with it (uk terms, sections 21.1–21.3, updated this april) - the terms also warn sony can suspend or terminate your account over inaccurate information. your old address after a move counts as inaccurate none of this is theory. the same ecosystem deletes 551 purchased movies from european libraries this september, and the closing ps3/vita stores promise your content stays downloadable "for the foreseeable future" - four words carrying thousands of libraries. a disc never asked if your account was still active. the all-digital collection comes with a landlord. and you signed the lease years ago.
