Microsoft and Disney is taking charge.

It'll be okay, as long as they treat their employees and consumers right so everyone can be happy and enjoy and all of us can be united. This applies to everything in the entertainment industry especially video games.

It is looking like a bright future.

I hated cable because I couldn't choose when I wanted to watch something. With streaming devices, I can.

You need to have multiple streaming services to have a decent selection to choose from

People like a Monopoly when it means they only have to pay for one service.

People like monopolies when it creates convenience. Everything for the price of one. Just like Sirius-XM.

Nobody wants netflix to be a monopoly. People want there to be no more shitty anti-consumer licensing deals. Theres no reason why all shows cant exist on multiple platforms and then the platforms compete based on their own merits rather than how many tv shows they grabbed exclusive deals for

Shit like this is why piracy still exists and why its so rampant in non-us countries. Nobody wants 5 subscription services. Nobody wants content released in their country weeks or even hours after its released elsewhere. When pirates can provide an easier and better service than what the publishers can officially, thats one trash platform

I dont mind Monopolies... what I dont like is the CEO of the monopoly taking advantage if its power to screw everyone.

If there was a Monopoly where the company actively tried to drive prices down, provide more satisfaction to their customers or actually cared about humanity and not money then I would be fine with that

Problem is people cant be trusted to have that much power and keep being good.

People love to make the competition argument in things like this, game consoles, or Steam/Epic. The thing is that there's no actual competition that's good for the consumer.

You don't have to be subscribed to them all at the same time.
