PlayStation Store is deleting more than 1,200 shows from its users' personal libraries. The digital media store said it was forced to take this action due to issues with licensing.
The announcement also frustrated users because even if they had already paid for the titles or content, the PlayStation Store would not refund them. Hundreds of video titles will be pulled out by the end of this month.
PlayStation Loses Discovery TV Shows and Content
According to Forbes, users learned about the removal of TV shows last weekend. They received an email from the PlayStation Store stating that because of a content licensing agreement with content providers, subscribers will no longer have access to Warner Bros. Discovery content that they previously purchased. Plus, the content will be deleted from their personal library as well.
A legal notice was also posted on the main PlayStation website to ensure everyone was informed of their move. Users can expect to lose their downloaded Discovery shows such as "A Crime to Remember" series, "Alaska: The Last Frontier," "Alaskan Bush People" series, "Cake Boss," "Gold Rush," "Mythbusters," "Say Yes to the Dress" and more, on Dec. 31.
Show Removal Announcement Sparked Anger from PlayStation Users
CBR reported that after Sony announced the deletion of more than 1,000 seasons of TV shows from PlayStation, users took to social media to express their disappointment and frustrations. This is because even if they already paid for those titles, PlayStation will still remove those Warner Discovery TV shows from the libraries.
It was also mentioned that PlayStation would not refund the payments, so many users felt ripped off. Meanwhile, the exact number of pieces of content to be pulled down may reach 1,317.
