This must be the 5th repost I've seen of this. Is something going on?

Sonys license to provide discovery content is ending, so anyone who purchased that content loses access to it, even though they "own" it.

Never buy digital from Sony, they are shit for consumer rights.

If you ever bought a movie on the PSP back in the day, you could only download the movie once, and had to rebuy to download it, even if you "Purchased" it

From https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psp/current/psn/store/purchase.html

I have games I bought on my PS3, and using the same account, those same games do not show on the PS4 and PS5, they want me to buy, even though I am using the same account.

Fuck Sony

If you purchase something and you can't just download it, move it wherever you want and watch it there with no limitations, you didn't purchase it.

It was posted by the instance owner, so you'll have to ask them.
