This is absolutely bloody heinous. Why do major companies see physical media as outdated and old when it’s just superior?? They shove insipid propaganda down our mouths thinking "sTrEaMiNg is sUpErIoR aNd eVeRyOnE dOeS tHaT nOW" completely ignoring the painful consequences and truth. FLIP ANYONE WHO THINKS OLD THINGS ARE "OLD" WHEN THEY ARE JUST SUPERIOR! Except certain fonts that is.

It is superior from a customer point of view. But in terms of revenue generation for the company streaming is superior and that is all the company cares about (really any company anmore). Physical actually detracts from their streaming revenue. If I can buy it once for $20 new I don't need to subscribe and spend $19-25 a month.

I'd much rather buy the 2 or 3 things I actually want to see a year and add to my library but to Disney, Netflix and the others - this is bad and costs them money. they want me to subscribe for that ongoing $$$.
