- ryukafalz 4y agoI mean, how about "buying" digital products that can be shut down at the whim of the distributor? Like e-books: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-48829661 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-48829661 Or games: https://www.wired.com/story/google-stadia-shutting-down-phil-harrison/ https://www.wired.com/story/google-stadia-shutting-down-phil... Or movies: https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/8/23199861/playstation-store-film-tv-show-removed-austria-germany-studiocanal https://www.theverge.com/2022/7/8/23199861/playstation-store... Sometimes you get refunds, sometimes you don't. Also at the whim of the distributor!
