There was a time when the only way to see a movie was at a theatre. When home media and playback of video was gaining traction the movie companies eventually brought their content to home media. With the advent of streaming they have come full circle. Now, if you want to watch something more than likely it is something that is only streamable if you are the vast majority of the population of consumers. Good luck on that particular show/movie being available outside of streaming if you only watch it on purchased physical media and will not pirate it. In other words, media makers have finally gotten control of legal access to the entertainment they peddle leaving consumers to accept any changes, edits or blackouts that they deem okay.
