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?

After 6.6 years of streaming, you will also own absolutely nothing.

Kinda like Game Pass?

[–] arefx@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

I mean do you really own your steam games either? I have 600 of em so game pass is more for the games I don't care about "owning" but at the end of the day steam could shut down on 5 years an poof there goes your games. Lol

after 6.6 years the hardware will be almost worthless too, if you plan to resell it to someone else

That machine he built will not be anything close to worthless after 6.6 years. I literally just last week moved my spare 1080 ti into a second gaming computer. It came out in 2017.

I'm getting a strong vibe that people are just jealous so they have to convince themselves it's not worth it or stupid so they can feel better about not having it themselves.
