I don't want them to be a monopoly, I just want them to have everything. Other places can have everything too, let the best service provider win. Copyright is evil.

I've been on that page for the last year. Put everything on central servers in a cross government / private sector venture, and we pay for the software that lets us access it based on things like interface, functionality, and quality of recommendations.

I guess that works for things already made (I assume no royalty payments), but why would anyone make anything new?

I don't

I'd prefer all games were available on all launchers and all platforms and just let people pick where they want to buy them

The answer would be steam yes but because it's the best launcher, not because it's the only one

I'm slightly disappointed that one service doesn't have the majority of shows anymore., but there is no way it could have gone on like that forever without it getting more expensive or competitors popping up.

As far as video streaming, it isn't hard to cycle between the various services out there. Just watch what you want to watch on Netflix, cancel it, sub to Hulu, repeat

So they can be paid to have it streamed on all platforms. Meaning that the quality would have to speak for itself.

Because the way Epic Games has tried to disrupt Steams marketshare only fractures the marketplace rather than improves the consumer experience.

If this is how its going to be I would rather have Valve be in charge of PC gaming distribution.

All of the streaming services having all of the same content is an impossible dream lol you'd see a huge decrease of content across the board if that were to ever happen.

I think my logic was creators all get paid out of subscription fees based on how often their material is accessed. It creates a ratings like function to keep things motivated to improve, but small projects unconcerned with that can still get things out there and nothing gets completely lost due to unpopularity.

Okay, that makes more sense. Thanks

But i would be ok with an increase in price as a result. Hs ing to have 7 different services coming out of your account every month just to watch your shows is stupid

Netflix is garbage and people who get defensive about how they consume media are stupid. Enjoy your mass produced garbage designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
