Have they considered actually making the content available to stream legitimately on platforms that aren't dogsh*t? Japan does this with everything. Music is still mostly physical and streaming support especially for older catalogues is poor. Godzilla minus one was out of theatres for a full year before anything resembling a physical release was made available. The biggest thing hurting growth here is gatekeeping.

And even if I shell out for a blu-ray they won't let me conveniently watch the blu-ray on my laptop or phone. We really need a new standard.

We're still struggling to get past the access/license phase like it's the early days of decss and i can't legally play my physical media because i run an alternative os.
