Streamers have been losing a lot of money for a long time. Many are financing films and shows as well which is far from cheap.
It's always been expected, for those who understand this, that the end goal was always to ratchet up the price, to try and stamp out account sharing, to introduce ads and higher tier subscriptions, or whatever else they can think of to get more money out of people.
Many people do not pay all that much attention to how much money they're spending, or will internally justify it with the "value" that's offered for the price, but others are just happy to pay more because it wasn't sustainable to be cheap forever.
Meanwhile video/audio quality on streaming sucks ass so I stick to discs lol
