PlayStation users can relax about access to Discovery content: Sony and Warner Bros. have agreed to continue access to digital content.
It was quite sad for PlayStation users with the previously shared claims. Some claims were shared that Discovery content would cease to be available and access to content would also be terminated. The good news came from PlayStation. Contrary to previous claims, access to digital Discovery content will continue.
PlayStation and Warner Bros. Signed a New Deal
As we move rapidly towards a digital future, while it has positive aspects that affect our lives, of course it also has some negative aspects. For years, the only way to own a TV show or movie you liked was often through physical media. If you had a DVD or CD or other physical copy that you could keep and maintain its quality, it could stay with you for life, leaving you no reason to worry.
In today’s technology, digital libraries are becoming more common and physical media is gradually coming to an end. We’ve seen many times over the last few years how quickly a streaming service can be taken down or its servers shut down. However, there aren’t many examples of a major company directly removing any content you paid to license, making it completely inaccessible.
Earlier this month, it was announced that PlayStation would be removing digital content from Discovery that people had paid to purchase licensed. This included numerous popular shows such as Mythbusters, where individual episodes or entire seasons could be purchased from the PlayStation Store. However, this caused great anger among paid content consumers. As a result of this anger, PlayStation and Warner Bros quickly managed to make a new agreement. This agreement, which is valid for the next 30 months, will continue to access content without any problems for now. After 30 months, we hope that this agreement will be renewed and continued. But there is no definitive information or explanation on this subject.
