It’s not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking

Netflix & all these streaming platforms have completely lost touch & they will lose more customers in the long run

To quote Gabe Newell on Piracy

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

    Infamous implies somebody is famous in a negative way. If anything, Gabe is a shining example that should be upheld.

      “Infamous” - that means more than famous!

      I think in this example it could go either way, depending on who is viewing it.

      Regular people would say he’s famous.

      People running streaming platforms and other big corpos (especially Tim Sweeny) might say he’s infamous.

      It’s infamous among big business execs. It’s famous for everyone else.
