Feels like a bad business decision, considering it will definitely promote piracy... and Paramount+ already has multiple other banner Star Trek shows to entice new subscribers in coming months. If you're willing to subscribe for Paramount+ for Discovery S4, you're definitely willing to subscribe for Strange New Worlds, which is only a couple months behind Picard S2. And those will probably simultaneously air close to when Paramount+ actually launches in other countries.

- ocdtrekkie 5y agoLower Decks is quite good, though I think the number of people who would subscribe to Paramount+ solely for it is lower.
- WarOnPrivacy 5y agoPiracy is competition and by not competing, studios make sure pirate ecosystems stay healthy.
- iso1631 5y agoIn the 90s I paid $400 a year (in today's money) to watch DS9. I'd certainly subscribe to Paramount plus at say $100/year to watch Trek. However that's not an option, so I'll watch it from torrents. Looking at Paramount Plus in the US though "a few shows include brief promotional interruptions to keep you in the loop on new and upcoming Paramount+ programming." Nope, looks like Torrents are the only way.
- ocdtrekkie 5y agoI find the promotional interruptions annoying, but fwiw, for the full price version, it's only a pre-roll ad. Once the show starts it is uninterrupted.
