    This is what I wrote on the other thread about the same article. The question is, on what possible grounds are they allowed to revoke licenses for completed sales?

      Someone in legal on Sony’s side fucked up.

      They should issue refunds. Whether they will or not though…

        They will ALMOST CERTAINLY. But my point is this doesn’t really help… Let’s say a game I really like, I dunno Wreckfest (substitute you own idc) gets yanked from Steam. Here is my 24.99 EUR back. Okay fine, fair enough (it isn’t but whatever), where can I buy the game again? Well REALLY you can’t, you can either buy gamepass forever (Until it gets yanked from there again), or you can go and hunt down a rare an expensive Xbox physical release.

        So have I been reimbursed for my loss? No, because the 24.99 is no substitute for the game I had and wanted.

          The only way to play Chronicles of Riddick (a really great game btw) is illegally by downloading it. I would happily pay money for the privilege, but there is no option for that.

            Well yeah but that is hosted on various abandonware sites. If they defacto disown the rights of it, that is fair enough…
