It says 1,318 seasons, so that's like 100 people buying thirteen seasons of Shark Pilots or Junkstore Wars or whatever. So, you're definitely right it's bad PR over almost nothing, but I think Discovery should be taking the heat, not Sony. They made the call to cancel those licenses.
Um, what? You think removing 1,318 seasons of shows only affects 100 users? They've been selling these since the PS3 era and it's hundreds of millions of devices.
...did you possibly think it meant 1,318 total purchases? ๐
It says it right there in the title. They sold seasons, that is how many they sold. Do you think Discovery has 1,318 total shows?
1,318 seasons means 1,318 seasons, not 1,318 total sales. Click on the notice in the article for a list of all the seasons of different shows if you still don't understand.
Each season could have been bought by 100 people, or by 1,000 people. Seasons of popular shows like Mythbusters might have been bought by millions of people. We have no idea how many customers are affected since it doesn't list that information.
Bro your reading comprehension is something else.
