Wait, since when do they give a “refund” for content that is no longer available? A while ago I bought the first season of Fringe (knowing that I don’t actually own it), but I got nothing, when it was pulled. Do I need to ask explicitly for that gift card?
Looks like it’s a UK user. So likely due to consumer protections there. I’m guessing you are American where there are less?
No, I’m german, so similar levels of consumer protection. Not that I’ve looked for a refund. I just never thought of it as possible. Maybe I should look into it the next time
Or this time…
Fringe was a top priority for me to have an owned copy. Over the years it has gotten passed around so many services, and at times was completely unavailable to stream (afaik). Can’t stand that shit.
