Movie licensing is legally different to running a game platform. Are there any examples of games being removed from people’s libraries?

No. I have a fat that was after backwards compatibility. I haven’t tested it yet, but the PS2 games are done with homebrew emulation.

Look, I recently jail broke my PS3, now I can put any digital game from PS1,PS2, PS3 or PSP. I can also rip my discs to the hard drive. Discs for games are irrelevant for me. I prefer digital games on any platform these days, and of the service providers device to remove my ownership I will take that as a sign that I can procure them through other methods.

I’m going to fight this by purchasing digital games on steam. That’ll show 'em.
But seriously, this isn’t an attack from Sony, it’s a reaction. People are trending towards digital purchases on all platforms. If the PlayStation is irrelevant without physical games then they will die by their own sword. Prior to this plenty of people were denigrating consoles as overpriced locked down computers anyway, this hardly makes a difference.
You’re allowed to be sick more days, they just won’t pay you for it.
