History repeats itself. Railroads, mines, tech workers.
I just realised what they have become. Years again when sky/cable existed there would be a channel that just showed average shows, or B movies. It’s the kinda thing your nana would watch. It was just churn churn of tat. It kept you occupied…but not entertained.
They had a good run for a few years but id say in the last 5 years or longer...for seasons with several after about S3 they start to get sillier to the point of unbelievable. Id say now it has even started to happen around S2 recently.
Secondly a lot of stuff is very...the samey and TBH boring, if something is good they try to repeat it over and over. Generally now i see the N sighn and i am like nah, its likely to be average.
Yup. It’s always by design. Corporate bullshit has been playing the long game.
Thought the grifter in chief was doing that.
I think a thing this highlights is a moral line. With piracy now being easier and ubiquitous, and a clear alternative to orgs monopolizing and ignoring their user base. I think the one thing they are overlooking is the moment someone does it once. The moment they install something like stremio and realise how effortless it is the org has lost a user. Not even because of cost, but because they have taken advantage of the user...so its fair game to take advantage back.
I used to eat MacDonald's...usually took the kids say fortnightly, and one day i just didn't because it got crap and expensive. One you step over the line and they lose you, they lose you.
A distinction here is what is being sold to us. A disc is 'goods' where are sold the product under the assumption of ownership.
What is actually being given is a service!
We want ownership of a good, not rent of a service and digital via sony/Xbox is the latter.
Pretty decent tutorial.
The disc at this stage is somewhat symbolic, its the line that sand against the anti consumer practices being pushed by the platforms.
We have trusted them and during that they have:
- They have sleptwalked users into accepting digital over physical.
- They have infiltrated many areas of game production and monopolized
- They have normalised subscriptions for many areas of gameplay....
And now they are getting pretty bold of what they want.
- You will have to verify your identity
- The products you 'bought' can be taken away from you at the platforms discretion
- You will have to be online to play the products you purchased...and you will need to pay for that service.
- They can charge what they want for the games and there is no competition to weaken prices
- You will pay more for your device with less features
They are testing the tolerance with this. This is not about the physical disc. Its about saying enough!
I think the discrepancy here is if leasing devices at which I is agree fair.
What I take umbridge with is the way ownership is being removed, for something that we know can be produced plentifully. And the push to give everything as a service or lease.
As a sociaty We are allowing tiered privileges.
