The reason I buy games is because pirating them is more trouble than just paying for them.
Now with video streaming, the value add was that I didn't even need to have to go search for something, it was just all there for a small fee.
Now for that fee, I still have to search for stuff (klwhich streaming service is it on in the first place), juggle subscriptions, and also, in some cases, have to watch ads. Why would I do that when the old ways of the sea are more convenient again?
Arrrrr, matey!
They forget pirating video is really really easy
The funny part is that they don't even care. They've already made their money. Best you can do is to try to get them to see the downside.
