Hey look, it costs money to add mobile games and split everything into a bunch of tiers and add restrictions other stupid shit.

Theirngaming business is absolutelynin the toilet too. No one plays that. No one wants that.

If they want to make games fine, just put them on Xbox and Playstation, not this weird streaming nonsense.

Got Jurassic Park?...nah, but we've got Dyno Play Area! A new Netflix original documentary that follows three friends who wear dinosaur costumes at various play areas. It's off the hook! #1 in the US right now!

It's not a mystery, people just went back to pirating because it's too expensive
