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."
Yeah but for a publicly traded company, quarterly growth is the name of the game. If the numbers go down long enough, it's game over for them.
Won't somebody please think about the shareholders?
I'll dance for them as I prance around the fire of their failed BSD l business model. Stupid, selfish cunts...
Fuck em
...with a baseball bat covered in nails. Rusty nails.
I don't know the context but I am aroused
I'm crying for them.
Hopefully.
then what's the point of pirating if you want the company to fail?
Piracy saves money. Reboots are literally cringe.
They don't even have to go down. Staying stable or even going up at a consistent rate are both considered failure states, or at least unfavorable. If the rate of growth is not itself growing then they start worrying.
It's insane.
