Except all that money is part of the leagues themselves, I', confident we'd happily pay less for the rights. Ultimately as a platform we're trying to charge as little as possible to capture the largest audience, there's no exclusivity we're driving. Personally, I'd love if it leagues allowed multiple platforms to carry the same right in the same country, so we could compete entirely based on customer service and service quality. But they love to drive up the bidding war because it gets them more money. Don't hate the player, hate the game. I'm not aiming to attack anyone for doing it, more asking people to understand that there are consequences to piracy more than they expect.
