I have gone to Ebay and Amazon to look for stuff I wanna buy. Some of the shows go for insane amounts of money. Like I am NOT paying $300 to watch a few episodes of this show I never got to see. That's insane.
This also goes for video games. The older Pokemon games can now go for like $150 a copy. It's even worse there because video game preservation doesn't exist anymore. You don't own shit on services. They can take it away from you. Pay $70 for a game and you don't even fucking own it.
They wonder why piracy and emulation is coming back with a vengeance. THIS is why. People are not gonna pay money to NOT own something they BOUGHT to OWN.
