It's also about effort per buck earned.
A single exclusive deal for a season of Game of Thrones for a specific release window with a local/regional PayTV provider brings in, say, ten million bucks. And you make this deal in a nice 3 Michelin Star restaurant.
Compare that with actually delivering 10 million streams to end users, on iPhones, iPads, Androids, AppleTVs, Chromecasts, [edited: with] payment gateways and support for technically challenged people.
- andy_ppp 10y agoDelivering 10m streams to the end user is a solved problem; just pay to transcode your video. The point is to avoid even streaming - let people download films, no drm, for a buck (maybe 2 bucks for 4k) and trust most people not to steal.
