"Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" - Gabe Newell
I'm willing to pay, but the product I want is not available. I pay for my video games because Steam is such a great experience.
- forrestthewoods 14y agoBullshit. I can start streaming Avengers from iTunes in 1080p with 5.1 audio in under 30 seconds. It couldn't be any easier. With an AppleTV I can do that in my home theater. Amazon also has video on demand options. So does Xbox amongst many others. If you want to be a selfish twat and not pay for any content then so be it. You'd hardly be alone. Just don't add lying to your list of sins.
- wmf 14y agoMaybe you missed the part where Universal's content will not be available on iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, Xbox, Playstation, etc. until after HBO is done with it.
- forrestthewoods 14y agoIt didn't say that because that's not how it works. This is an extension of an existing deal. Universal content is already available for rent/purchase on iTunes and that isn't changing. New releases will continue to be on iTunes ala carte. What you won't see is that content available as part of a non-HBO streaming subscription service.
- w1ntermute 14y agoI don't see all TV shows available for download/streaming when they air on TV. Don't try to equate iTunes to that experience. And if you want to resort to ad hominem attacks, go find another website to troll. Hacker News isn't the place for that bilge.
