    Gabe Newell said it best

    “Piracy is almost always a service problem & not a pricing issue”

    Though today, It’s definitely a pricing issue with streaming companies getting super greedy

      I’d say it’s a service issue. I can see a trailer for a movie and have no idea where to watch it. And there’s a tonne of places to check where it might be. And even then, they all have their own app? building? payment plan? device requirements? style?

      Then there’s the seven seas, nice and consistent

          I have Netflix, and some shows you can actually still buy episodes of. Which is what I prefer. I don’t like this subscription model, or losing access when the WiFi stutters :/
