Sony is facing a $7.9 billion lawsuit that could impact over 9 million players. They’ve been accused of deleting purchased movies, TV shows, and games—items customers thought they owned forever.

This lawsuit, filed by consumer advocate Alex Neill, challenges Sony’s alleged abuse of its dominant position, charging high prices and restricting competition on the PlayStation Store.

Even physical these days means nothing, just look at The Crew.

Thankfully modders have made good progress of coming closer to emulating servers for it so people can play it offline.

Bad part is Ubisoft actually removed The Crew from some people's Ubisoft account. Steam versions were safe ironically to be able to download the game to make use of it when Crew community made fix is out.
