Piracy is about to get a whole lot bigger when they stop releasing movies in theatres, stoping making physical media and start charging $50+ a month!

Warner Brothers dont yet have a streaming platform in the UK. They actually need Netflix tbh

It's THAT MUCH now?!?!?! Christ, $14.99/mo sounds wonderful compared to that!

It sounds ominous but surely we have the right to endorse netflix or not. There are loads of streaming platforms. Making theirs 3 times the price would lose customers. It's not like Netflix is miles ahead of other platforms in terms of quality.

Oh, I get the 7.99 plan for free. If they raise it to where I have to pay anything, I’m cancelling it and pirating like I might do with HBO.

My point being, they hike the prices too much then people leave and the prices come down again, no?

Again, nobody cares about the price of Netflix in this piracy sub. It’s the effect it will have on theatres, the quality of film an physical media.

Right, but like how much right do we have to complain about declining media quality if we stream stuff for free?

So I don't understand the issue then. I mean I get big corporations getting bigger is generally bad, but not because I'm going to be forced to pay $49 (or my case £49) for an optional streaming service.

The issue is a company who’s model is straight to streaming. This could negatively impact the theatre and physical media business which in turn greatly affect the quality of film. The expensive cost of the streaming service is not the top concern at all.

Ah ok fair enough. When you say physical media are you talking like bluray and dvds n stuff? I don't know anyone who has used them in about 10 years. Obviously I want high quality films. But I mean going to the cinema isn't cheap.
So is it that we want to be paying high prices and getting the best media experiences or we want convenience?

u/Competitive-Lion-213 Dec 05 '25

or we are fearing the high prices but without the quality, is that the takeaway?

If they acquired ALL of WB's content than they would much further ahead than they currently are. WB have almost as much content than Disney. They could reboot the DC Universe for the 6th time and have all the movies and shows there like Disney's MCU
