You sound like the type that would be all for half released games and dlc to complete said half games

@Deadpooio:

Kindness man. Along with your thoughts on rockets of "entitled and stupid" (over a conversation regarding entertainment mind you), I would suggest the world could well benefit from an increase in courteous and civil individuals.

If needed, please read more closely and/or forgive me for being unclear. I never intended to suggest what I could or could not afford. Where finances are concerned I only stated that I do not want to spend more (certainly not for what amounts to *similar* content to what I already have access to). For the record I prefer UHD physical media (with uncompressed Atmos and better picture) for most films that I feel are worth watching -rent or purchase depending on film -- which incidentally costs more than the streaming services, but for which the tradeoff makes sense *to me*. And the cable/satellite reference was due to the fact that for a good while the masses have felt that cable and satellite providers were price gouging relative to the options that had become available (kind of like streaming services charging the same or more than what I can purchase a higher quality physical copy for in many instances). This type of streaming model begins to eliminate the previous financial benefits that were part of streaming. I do not understand why anyone on the consumer side would defend or effectively champion increasing cost for essentially the same service but with potentially less convenience.

Additionally, my references to credit cards were intended to convey that I prefer to have my credit card numbers stored in as few places as possible and to manage fewer subscriptions. A consolidated service sounds far more desirable to me than moving toward having every studio/network/content provider want individual subscriptions. If I paid for cable, I would not want to have to put a credit card on file separately with NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, PBS, HBO, A&E, ESPN, BBC, Discovery, History, Starz etc. etc. etc. but more and more it feels like everyone wants to have their own service. Is it fair? I believe it ABSOLUTELY is fair-- it is their right to do so... It does not mean consumers have to like it. And, if you understood me correctly, it should be clear that my lack of "liking" it, does not make me "entitled". I do not like the entitled culture anymore than it sounds like you do, but would love to see a more civil/polite/dignified/kind society.

I hope this makes my thoughts a little clearer.

Take care.
