    Do you have those movies saved on your local machine? Or are you accessing them on a remote server?

    People here are supposed to tech literate, goddamn. I’m barely tech literate and I understand the difference between downloading and installing a program on your local machine and accessing streaming video on remote servers.

    Sony cannot remove programs from your local machine.

    They just remove the right to access it.

    They can’t do that, it’s impossible. You are not logging into their server to play the game. You are downloading and installing it on your local machine.

    This is NOT like Netflix. How can people be so ignorant about this? Do you not really know how this works? For Netflix, you stream from their servers. That IS NOT what is happening here.

    Think about it this way, if you get connected to an AI chatbot instead of a real person, does it feel like the company is giving you their time? Or does it feel like they are giving you nothing?

    Compared to insufferable automated phone systems, which have existed for decades and employ exactly no one, they are a vast improvement.
