They had achieved this just a short time ago, and their subscriptions and profit reflected that consumers were happy with the offerings. But the studios wanted MORE, and now everything is fragmented across a dozen different services with increased subscription fees, and geo-locks so you can't share accounts. I was paying almost $100 per month for subscriptions at one point, and then they fragmented it further and I said "fuck it, I'm out!". I cancelled everything. They think they can endlessly exploit their consumers, and maybe there is a sub-section of them that will endure never ending fragmentation and price increases, but I'm not one of them. Bye!
