    Fuck Warner Bros and Sony PlayStation for this.

    But it’s not just them, it’s an entire industry. If you pay for media and you don’t get it physically in full, or the ability to download it in a DRM-free portable format, remember that you don’t own it. Only do it in the knowledge that some day you will not have it anymore.

    There are other options available for you. BluRays, piracy.

      People need to start paying creators to make stuff for the public domain and refuse to pay to access anything that everyone doesn’t have access to.

      I’ve given Wikipedia money, I’ll never pay for Netflix.

        Considering how much it costs to make the average movie or TV show, a Patreon isn’t going to cut it. If you want a guy talking in front of a microphone with a producer and a writing team of two, sure, you can pay the creators for that. It’s not something most people will want to watch in replacement of the entertainment they’re used to.

      People were so happy MultiVersus happened, failing to realize the sheer acquisitions and monopolistic behaviour it takes to own so many IPs. How, when weaponised, it commands so many big names.

      And now it’s not working for people, because they’re pulling the shows from PS.

      If buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing.
