So I just got a message that Sony is revoking my license for Skyrim. A game I fucking paid money for because they can’t verify it. (lemmy.world)

tried rebooting, didn’t work. Tied restoring license, didn’t work. Can’t communicate with them because their stupid AI bullshit ahows no submit button to send my questions.

So…. Is there a class action suit I can jump in on?

EDIT; an hour on the phone with three different departments. And the end result:

I have to buy the game again. Even though they verified that it shows purchased- both in my actual account (he even quoted me the purchase date) , AND through the PS app.

This is how it starts folks. Canceling my PS Plus as we speak.

Yup. I recall that. Got my PC bunged up by it and I ended up getting a budget 160GB hard drive and reinstalling a fresh copy of WinXP on it.

Learned the hard lesson about ripping CD's and ended up pivoting to jumping the analog gap and doing line-in recordings of my music and treating much of it like I do vinyl LPs. Have a PowerMac G4 (one with zero latency) with an Avid audiophile card that I use so the quality of the recordings are fine.

Only Sony products I have now are a couple of digital cameras - which are actually decent.

    All you had to do was disable auto play and you could rip the CDs at full quality. Doing digital -> analog -> digital is kinda like resaving a jpeg as another jpeg; you will lose quality even if your equipment is great because the digital <-> analog conversion is lossy, due to one being discrete in both time and amplitude while the other is continuous in time and amplitude. Plus there's line noise.

    Oh, given my hearing loss - too many childhood ear infections - I've given up on anything other than mp3's. If the scratchy vinyl I have is fine, (I still have the copy of The Beatles' Yellow Submarine given to me the year it came out.. when I was 5. Sounds like a cat danced on it.. claws out.. but I still listen to it) a bit of line noise hardly makes a difference.
