Maybe (HBO) Max Just Isn’t Worth It::Warner Bros. Discovery’s latest earnings call reveals Max shed 700,000 subscribers in the past three months, even as it made money. That might work for Wall Street, but what about viewers?
If you’re wondering why your comment is downvoted despite being a reasonable insight, it’s because any remark in this community that even remotely contradicts a comment endorsing piracy is immediately treated to this hivemind behavior.
It’s anything that challenges an attack on a corporation, imo. If you just point out that a fact they claim is incorrect, even if you ultimately agree, you’ll be attacked as a shill and down voted.
I didn’t downvote it, but I disagree with the overall sentiment that just streaming for 6.6 years has the same value as getting a high end computer. Granted, OP could have saved a lot of money by getting parts a bit less close to the top, but a PC is a tool that can do so much more than 6.6 years of streaming (including that 6.6 years of streaming).
That may be so, but then we are comparing apples and oranges: for $4000, OP can still not stream any content unless they pay more for the services, which sort of defeats the entire argument. After all, they haven’t bought any games yet.
Which brings us to the essence: this comment thread was never here to actually discuss gaming or streaming content. OP didn’t even attempt to shroud the fact that they will continue to enjoy everything as they please by pirating it all.
I mean I might pirate somethi g once a year but you know me better than me
Just shut the fuck up, stupid motherfuckers thinking they understand someone else’s situation is hilarous.
There is no need to be rude. I was simply referring to your own declaration of your intents.
Oh I figured it was down voted for anti gaming sentiment.
At the end of all those years, you still have a pc.
Correct, a nearly seven year old PC that you never actually played a game on. Except maybe Fortnite.
Lol I have like 600 games on my steam account and I’ve played the majority of them… Idiots just jealous of someone having the money to drop 4k on a computer lol
My point here is that there are ongoing costs for purchasing more entertainment value and it’s not a one-off expense. I am not jealous about how much you have spent on your computer—in fact I think it’s great and hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. You have unfortunately completely misinterpreted the essence of what I have written in my comments.
