Take my word with a grain of salt, but as far as I understand with my limited knowledge, you do not own the content stored on the disc; however, you do own the physical medium itself. That is how game stores are allowed to sell you second hand games. They aren’t selling you the disc contents, they are selling you the disc. Regardless, readers, do your own research and don’t take the word of random people on Lemmy including myself.

Could you honestly tell me how I’m being toxic please. I think you’re misunderstanding me and I genuinely want to know why you think this.

Thanks. I can’t find anything like that. Here’s some screenshots of what the profile settings look like. These seem to be the whole sites profile/accounts options. Maybe there’s just no option.

Oh ok, thanks. Not sure why some people are downvoting me for not knowing Japanese though. I’ll try to see if I can find those symbols on the site, but so far the furthest account option I’ve been able to find is to change the password.

I’m toxic? I’m sorry, how?

I think they support it now in Firefox, but didn’t used to; they just don’t currently support it with Japanese as far as I know. I’m sure I was looking at a Chinese or French website some months ago and it worked with Firefox’s built-in page translator.

What is 消去? DeepL translate says it means “Elimination”. I’m not sure what you want me to do with this.

Fair enough, but I gave my reason in another comment, so you should read that if you want to know.

Yeah, scrubbing it like that is usually a last resort, I generally try to delete the profile, and if I can’t, I scrub it with unidentifiable information. If I already happen to know from the policy that they keep your data for a period of time after deletion, I scrub it before deleting.

Nah, I can’t get the Firefox translating to work. And websites not having a built-in account deletion option is the reason many sites offer (usually buried in their policy) the option to have it manually deleted, only if you directly contact them via email. I’ve done this with a few websites before and it’s a pretty easy process.

I didn’t say anything about them sending me emails. But yeah, if that was an issue I would have done that, so thanks.

It’s not good to ever keep random accounts abandoned. It’s just good security and often privacy hygiene that most people don’t practice. I already have over 100 accounts total across the internet, and am planning to skim that number down drastically. It’s especially important security & privacy hygiene, because if you leave dozens of accounts abandoned and the services experience a data breach, the fact that your data is now out there is partially your own fault, and since we’re on the english-speaking side of the internet, I doubt we’re going to hear about a data breach for some random Japanese site.

Thanks, didn’t realise you could do that. And yeah, the note is very misleading.

I’ve just noticed something extra: As I said before, if I select English as a language, then “Undetermined” becomes deselected, yet the content still remains viewable. Well, I’ve just figured out why the content remains viewable: It’s because “Undetermined” for some reason gets automatically re-selected; it’s just that you can’t see that it’s happened unless you refresh the whole settings page (after saving).

I think the whole language section of the settings needs a redesign, because this is very confusing.

Thanks, but no. I’ve realised now that I accidentally deselected English as a language option and saved changes (I saved changes because I was testing the “Auto expand media” option). But I was a bit mislead by the little note above the languages which says “Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.”. It made me think that I needed to make sure that “Undetermined” is selected in order to keep seeing most content, because that’s what it sounds like in its wording. So I re-selected “Undetermined” and saved changes, and it caused my posts to disappear; I just didn’t notice immediately because I was busy transferring my subscriptions from this account over to my new one. I’m still not sure what that note was trying to say, but I’ve fixed it now by selecting English.

What makes it a bit more confusing is that when I select English, “Undetermined” becomes deselected, which is what the note is telling you not to do; this must be what compelled me to select “undetermined”, because selecting anything else deselected “Undetermined”. It’s only after you save and completely refresh the page, that “Undetermined” suddenly becomes re-selected again, but English also remains selected at the same time.

Thankyou, that fixed it! Didn’t realise I had done that. On the web client, there’s a little note above the languages list that says “Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.” This confused me because I thought it was saying that “undetermined” needed to be selected in order to see most content. So after clicking another language, I re-selected “Undetermined” to make sure the language would remain as it was. So I think the wording of the little note mislead me and caused me to do the wrong thing. I clicked “Save” after that, not knowing that I’d disabled English posts.

I still don’t fully understand that little note, because if I select English, then “Undetermined” is automatically deselected; but I still see most content (including what’s on my profile). But if I specifically select “Undetermined” and save the changes, than the posts become invisible, even though that’s what the note seemed to be trying to make sure I did.

The note seems to be saying “Keep Undetermined selected” in order to keep seeing most content, while in reality, selecting “Undetermined” makes most content disappear. Do you see what I’m trying to say?

Edit: Re-worded some of the second paragraph and split it into two, because I had an incomplete sentence that didn’t make sense. Oops; ironic.

Awesome, thanks for answering these questions. I noticed a typo in my last question though and I want to know you didn’t misunderstand it. Where I said “so if I buy a PS4 that has cross-buy support with the Vita on a PS5”, I meant to say “so if I buy a PS4 game that has cross-buy…”. Is your answer still the same?

The cross-buy list seems to mostly serve the same use, thanks. So how does this work exactly? If the game is cross-buy compatible with PS3 & PS4, does that mean that buying it on PS3 or 4 will make the game become downloadable on the PS Vita too? And is the PS Vita Store still online? Can I buy a game for PS4 physically on disc and get access to the PS Vita game through cross-buy, or does it only work with digital games? Plus, you can buy PS4 games on the PS store for PS5, so if I buy a PS4 that has cross-buy support with the Vita on a PS5, will cross-buy still work and give me access to the game on the PS Vita?

Most of those games in your list I’m getting on other platforms though. Like The Walking Dead on PS4, Spelunky on GOG (PC), Hotline Miami on GOG, Rayman Origins I already own on GOG, MGS HD on PS5. But thanks for the small list, it’s a good one otherwise.
