Vote with your wallet, they told us.

Then they got massively butthurt when we voted with our wallets.

Ubisoft is master of Europe/Canada. Only the pirate fleet stands before them. Oceans Video game DRMs are now battlefields.

Oh no. Poor Hollywood. Darn.

sparking concerns on Wall Street that the services will never be as profitable as cable once was

Obligatory fuck Wall Street

All my homies hate wall street

shasta,

Yeah this was the entire reason streaming was successful. It was cheaper than cable. Did they think more money would appear from nothing?

They always think that.

Blackmist, in I should figure out how myself

Well I’m already used to not owning Ubisoft games, because I think the last one I bought was AC Odyssey…

It’s odd as well, because out of the Big Three, I always considered Ubisoft to be the least scummy of them.

I’ve been doing this for free.

UncleGrandPa, in Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime.

So what they’re saying is they could get all that extra revenue if they lower their price and just undercut the competition?

Piracy is a service problem

Zink,

Yeah, but good service is a profit problem!

/s

prole,

Not sure why you added the “/s” as you’re not wrong

Zink,

Yeah I didn’t think I needed it. It was a last second addition just in case.

I don’t use these services, but after learning a bit about them I have to say I’d rather pay an honest thief than one who lies about ownership ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Can someone list those piracy subscription services so we can avoid them as responsible citizens?

Chakravanti,

IPTorrents is even worse at iptorrents.com for only $10/mo

You should definitely avoid XtremeHD IPTV (xtremehdiptv.org). For $15 a month, it’s way too cheap to offer all the live TV, movies, and series that it does. The article specifically mentions low pricing as a red flag, and I can definitely say that compared to what you’d normally pay for every live channel (including the premium ones and pay per view), series, and any just about any movie you can think of, this is most definitely a service that you should steer clear of.

Oh my God, that’s disgusting! Illegal streaming services online? Where? Where did they post those?

Y’all fucked up by not leaving everything on Netflix.

The mystery of how movie companies can’t own cinemas but can own streaming services.

NateSwift, in How viable is torrenting on a public connection?

You won’t be able to port forward without a vpn that supports it which will severely limit download speeds. Might be worth a shot if you have a vpn though
