It’s not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking

Netflix & all these streaming platforms have completely lost touch & they will lose more customers in the long run

To quote Gabe Newell on Piracy

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

    The studio cash grab explosion of streaming services is simply too inconvenient.
    Subbing to everything you want to watch would still be cheaper than renting it all before streaming.
    But Netflix has changed the value proposition and the stuidios are slitting their own throats trying to catch up.
