“People acting in their own financial interests frustrates money-hungry company”
FTFY
They have no money, and they’re going to have to live with the result of choices made long ago by wealthy people who are dead now.
I wouldn’t be doing a damn thing if I was them, except maybe riot.
Good. Cancel your streaming services. All of them. Just pirate shit.
Things get too expensive and people who don’t have the extra cash will find a way to spend less, or not at all. Remember this, all of you shareholders, if you price the customers out of buying your product then you’ve only screwed yourselves and your greed is to blame. What is wrong with a standard, healthy 10% profit?
Am I supposed to be mad about this? The only jobs available to most of them basically constitute slavery.
The second to last time i bought DLC at launch was the assassins creed game in colonial america, which was a waste of money. Then Starfield came out and you could play it a weekend early if you bought DLC, another scam. It is so much more fun to buy an indy game in alpha and get an update every few months from someone isnt a whore for share holders.
Teddy’s Haven (a cozy little shopkeeper game) has received updates almost every week. It’s by one person, and it’s in honor of his pet. It’s been awesome seeing updates, QOL tweaks, and even fishing get added to the game in 7-day stints.
100% still have to keep your seed ratio up. It works out for me, though, because I use it for my home media server, so it’s mostly files I’m holding on to anyway.
Looks like my gen X ass is just an gen Z in disguise…
“They’re ruining the economy because they don’t have money to spend”
Surprised it’s not 100% the high seas like myself.
If I had to guess 90% of people these days can barely figure out how to torrent, at best they could figure out how to get to online streaming sites.
“these days”. Man I’m not sure there’s ever been an era where a significant portion of people understood how to torrent.
High quality
No ads
Unlimited
I’m Gen-X, but I don’t play games at all, and I pirate everything I watch (which isn’t much)
When I hear about people buying a game, and then having to pay for some subscription, or to fully utilise the features, I can totally understand people refusing to buy into the bullshit
Ha, my first reaction to this title was “What, is the other half sailing the seven seas for shows?”
They should learn how to sail the high seas
And these services are mad cause it’s so cheap for us to do that. Subscribe when the full seasons are out, binge watch what you want, leave.
Also there’s more than enough quality content that exists already. This week I’m still happy watching Dr who or Star Trek from the 80s and 90s, Alfred Hitchcock films from the 60s and playing pc games from the 90s. There’s more than enough for me to chew through and time does the job of sorting the classic material from the forgettable dross for me.
Hell I’m a millennial, and I bounce around music streaming services all the time. They all offer more or less the same thing, and overcharge like hell for it. Spotify will send me a trial for like $5 for 3 months or something, I’ll sign up and set a reminder to cancel in 3 months, Amazon music will send me something similar, I’ll do that, YouTube premium will send me an offer and I’ll go there. Worst case I’ll have to deal with shitty ads for a while in between offers, but I’d say 10/12 months a year I’ve got some kind of premium service going for a fraction of the advertised cost. I know that their goal is to get me hooked and paying monthly for their shit, but I’m on top of it enough to not ever let them. Fuck the shareholders. I’m looking out for me.
Stremio ftw
