I'm really hoping that the general populace wakes up to the enshittification of media, because the current landscape is _very_ anti-consumer. Streaming used to be safe and convenient. We became comfortable with not owning them because they were available in perpetuity, and for a marginal price relative to owning a physical movie, Mr. Ubisoft Executive.

That business model works with Spotify and YouTube Music, but falls apart when you have 17 separate streaming services all vying for your watch time. Then you have to worry about whether a game will be on a service for the entire time you wish to play it, and if not, whether it will be a playable state if you decide you want to play it 10 years down the road.
