Another good point about video. Go try to stream Battlestar Galactica right now. It's one of the greatest sci-fi shows ever made, and it's impossible to stream reasonably. There actually is competition in that space, yet stuff like that still happens due to licensing deals. It used to be available on Netflix when that was the only streaming option, but it left a long time ago.

There's nothing that can be done when other companies don't even bother with the new competitor being a billion dollar publicly traded company taking a monopolistic strategy. They aren't even trying except throw money around to remove options. For there to be competion that is good for consumers the competion has to actually try, but they think just talking about cuts that don't matter to consumers and taking a monopolistic approach to games is going to bring people who actually spend money.

There is something that can be done. We have a government for a reason. It has laws in place to handle when monopolies appear. That shouldn't matter if you like them or not. Monopolies are bad. For example, look at GPU prices. They are as high as they are because Nvidia can set them that high. They could be better than they are currently too, but there's no reason to do that when they're in the front. They'd rather sit on it until they need to advance to stay a step ahead. It's bad for consumers, even if you like Nvidia for some reason.

Don't simp for a corporation.
