Can we say Gabe’s practice can translate to movies\shows? His products are at least 10hr worth (thus worth subscribing and enjoying an occasional sale), can be further promoted by having multiplayer, cloud saves, achievements…

It’s true this old blood can’t understand pirated MKVs are better than streaming-only DRMed shit. But is there anything they can really do to make their services work?

I think that it’s not a problem of a service itself if it’s not too shitty, but promotional campaign with memes like the one of Squid Games. One can be a Hitler of streaming platforms, but if this show is the new Lost, you’d make a bank anyway.

Weren’t they a tankie? I’ve heard about it a couple of times on Reddit before joining the fediverse but I don’t have proofs myself.
