I have the same. I rip DRM off of all content I have, both for futureproofing and to allow me to use the devices and playback software of my choice. I currently have around 6 TB of content.

My PS4 "Pro" (lol) retroactively dropped support for my 4K monitor in a software update.

I knew consoles were screwball, but that was special.

I've been bitten by this with sony removing Other Os from PS3. I haven't bought anything "smart" from Sony since. Not phones, laptops, game consoles, TVs. Nothing. In fact, I don't think I bought anything sony since.

When you take advertised features that your customers payed you to have, you're no longer a legitimate business. You're a thief.
