"We've been told our games are too expensive in some countries but we've been using Steam's recommended pricing for a while. We trust Valve enough to not change this. If our games are still too expensive for you, you can pirate them until you have enough to support us."
It's the streaming part for me.
Few years ago there was Netflix and Film1 in our country and an ISP with TV that also had a movie service.
That was about it.
Now there's Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, SkyShowtime, Apple TV+ and ViaPlay added to it.
It's impossible to have have just 1 and view what you want. Ofcourse you can keep on switching but some of them but it's all just making it more complicated.
Solution? Pirate it. One source and everything available even stuff that isn't on any on those services.
Also some movies can't be bought digital.
IMO all movies and series should be available on any platform and let the streaming service decide if they want to have it in their portfolio. Only the "originals" should be locked to a platform to keep stuff unique.
And make every damn movie and series available for purchase.
That's just cable though. Not sure that'll be any better. The second a company sees a revenue stream or thinks they're missing out. They monetise it to the detriment of the customers.
