Discovery shows were set to be pulled from PlayStation libraries on December 31st, but that\u2019s not happening now, thanks to \u201cupdated licensing arrangements,\u201d as reported by GamesIndustry.biz<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The original plan was one of two recent reminders from PlayStation that digital ownership sucks<\/a> \u2014 especially because there were a lot<\/em> of shows that were set to be removed from video libraries. You can see the full list<\/a> on Sony\u2019s website, which now contains the note about the changed policy. \u201cDue to updated licensing arrangements, the Discovery content removal planned for December 31, 2023 is no longer occurring,\u201d Sony says. \u201cWe appreciate your ongoing support and feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, while this is good news for people who have invested in Discovery content on PlayStation, the whole situation is a reminder that, in many cases, buying things digitally essentially means that you\u2019re paying for a long-term rental. If you don\u2019t want to be subject to the whims of further \u201clicensing arrangements\u201d just so you can watch your favorite MythBusters<\/em> episodes down the line, you might want to go back to buying physical copies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
