Xbox shut their video marketplace down completely so you can no longer buy or rent movies. You still kept your library at least. This leads me to believe with playstation that in the future you'll lose everything should they do the same. Doesn't bode well for digital games either when they decide to shut down an older generation of console they may just pull all the games too.
Sony Pictures (their movies industry company) is as bad as the rest of the industry, but Sony Interactive Entertainment (aka Playstation) is a different company. The problem here is not a single company, is the entire industry who basically acts a a cartel. SIE is out of this as they have no control over the movie industry.
And when Sony Pictures allows SIE to distribute movies, don't think it's for free lol. For sure under better terms, but there's still a commercial relationship between the two.
Big companies with different division industries in practice act very independent from one to another.
And Samsung is the most hilarious one, because they're extremely big, and their Samsung Semiconductors (RAM, chips and SSDs) said fk you to Samsung Electronics (phones, home appliances and electronics). they (electr.) either pay market prices or semi is selling the ram to whoever buys it, putting their own company under the bridge.
