    So Sony bought the competition, then shut down their own offering…

    I understand this sucks from an accessibility perspective, but also, how the FUCK is this not anti competitive?

        I mean, yeah, agreed, they’re not going to actually get any repurcussions, obviously. I meant more, why aren’t articles/people mad about it. We all know the laws don’t apply to them

      How is this not a contractual violation? If you buy a company, you take on their contracts. You don’t get to throw them out the window.

        actually, you typically do. the company you made the contract with doesn’t exist anymore.

        also a ‘forever’ contract for ‘cloud’ (someone else’s computer) services is only as good as that other person’s computer stays on. anyone who thought that meant more than a few years, or that it would mean after the company stopped existing deserves whatever they get.

          I can’t wait to tell the big bank that bought the smaller bank holding my mortgage that I don’t need to pay them back because the contract is void.
