As always, the paying user has the worst experience. "Purchase" a show, can only watch on a certain console of a certain brand, no transfers, no backups, then it suddenly disappears from the library and nothing can be done.

If media companies insist on draconian DRM, then they should pay for full refunds to their loyal customers when one day they decide to delist that specific show.

If I purchased it, do I get store credit for losing what I bought?

That's funny. You should do stand-up

Yes, but since it's "used", you get .1 percent what you paid for it.

It loses 70% of it's value as soon as you ~~drive~~ watch it off the lot
