Streaming/Download brehs got tricked by Hollywood

[morris]

Y’all think studios being forced into VOD releases are just going to release it at no premium/for free? They’re already losing dough releasing it this way, especially since RIPs will make it out there for pirate gang. $30 is a ripoff if you’re a solo adult sitting around wanting to see this, but if you’re a family of 3+ it’s a deal. Hell, even as a couple you’re breaking even with theater tickets prices out here.

Plus the price of transportation and having to share the theater and worry about food ...

Phones, tablets. I don't have kids so it's whatever to me but everyone i know who do got kids, their kids have all that... I'm not one to question their parenting

Kids have those to watch movies/videos and play games. If a movie is on tv, then they’re watching it there

As a comic book fan, I know this pain.

Literally the only reason a physical and digital comic are both $3.99 is to appease comic shops.

I got magickbox or Magick TV Myth Kodi 18 Leia or something... 18.8. I haven’t upgraded Kodi since like january, shyt gets nothing now

I just finally upgraded my Kodi like in the last week or so cuz I felt like my build was outdated.
Gonna see how it works over the next few weeks as football season begins but if I aint getting my games I may need a new build.

I wish I got on the wave early on of programming and charging people out the ass for broken firesticks years ago. I remember before I learned to do it some nicca was trynna charge me $125 for one and then another person was trynna charge me $75 to hook me up

My boy later was gonna charge me but then was like "fukk it" and taught me. Since then I've done shyt shyt hundreds of times

i mean the reason they charging extra for Mulan is because it wouldn't even be on the service now, it would be in theaters, if there wasn't the pandemic.

Xanax, I dont know if it works on Xbox its like I tried one time and something went terribly wrong.

I probably followed the instructions wrong (cuz the shyt I chose was confusing as fukk) but that shook me and I just said fukk it

I've seen some vids of it on Xbox but its most times suggested to use a Firestick

Wow, this was their plan all along
hook you with cheap pricing then gradually increase price every couple years to now they have you paying $20 to rent/$25 to own Bill & Ted
Disney+ starting at $6.99 then want you to pay an additional $30 for Mulan, this was the plan, ween you off physical then squeeze your neck with digital when you got comfy and you fell for it.




gotcha bish



Another Hollywood finesse

Music albums on mp3 getting sold for $13
same or more price, less quality

Stupid dumb asses told me the prices would go down once everything became DD

Yea fukking right... They gonna nickle and dime us for every single penny they can. And triple that when you don't have any control over what you buy, not even an actual copy



IPTV and torrents for the win... fukk them

I bought The Office complete series at the end of December on VUDU using a new credit card. Used it throughout January. I’m in a transition period where I can’t access my physical dvds. I go to log in to find out it’s suspended because of the new card. I have to wait until a manager can email me back within 3 days to get it active. So I’m without streaming any of my movies or tv shoes because of absolute bs reasons.

This is beyond frustrating. So the next time someone says, “Why not just go digital?” Remind them of what I’m going through right now:

They can take away your WHOLE COLLECTION whenever they feel like it!

I lost like 40% of my digital copies when UltraViolet and Flixster went out of business

I lost over 200 but couldn't figure out what. Until recently I started to piece together titles which are missing. Fandango now/vudu are no help

I always thought that was crazy, comics have no business being 3.99 in the first place. Digital should be much cheaper.
