It’s not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking

Netflix & all these streaming platforms have completely lost touch & they will lose more customers in the long run

To quote Gabe Newell on Piracy

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

    Customers will notice the change on their next bill. Netflix has quietly put up its prices across each subscription tier in Australia.

    Why is this even legal, oh who am I kidding lobbying most likely. They began notifying people on May 13. Thanks for the correction @[email protected].

      They get 30 days notice of the price increase. That’s pretty reasonable and in compliance with the law, I would assume.
