It’s funny to me how with games like Rimworld, players will try to make the most evil colony possible and it’ll be like “yeah we run entirely on prison labor and when they die we skin them and turn them into hats” but it’s a very juvenile sense of evil that’s you’d expect to see in the margins of a middle school notebook

but when Cities: Skylines players want to do evil it’ll be “I built an urban freeway interchange and parking lots in accordance with real Texas zoning laws” and every comment is something like “this looks like Houston’s 290/10/160 interchange, I drive on it for work and dream about blowing it up every single day” or “you’re a real sick fuck you know that? Also good job with your frontage roads!”

Barnes and Noble is cutting back massively on hardcover books (apparently–I thought they already did this) and titles by new authors because hardcover sales have dropped like 15%. Now a bunch of people are freaking out about the drop in exposure and discovery chances.

HBO pulled a bunch of its cartoons off its platform and the shows now can’t be legally viewed anywhere. There’s no legal copies because the cartoons were only available for stream and the distributor apparently had market data showing demand for DVDs was too low to be worth production cost. Now a bunch of people are freaking out over lost media.

Here’s a wild idea: Maybe y’all should have kept purchasing physical versions of the stories you wanted.

i replied to this but i had so many things i wanted to touch on im just going to reblog it- tl;dr you are wrong and you are blaming people who cannot afford these things in the first place for something companies never intended to make anyway

im going to mostly address the HBO side of things because i actually keep up with these cartoons, their creators, and the way theyre monetized and merchandised. i ran multiple servers dedicated to keeping up with namely OK KO but most cartoons that were hosted on HBO i kept up with

you cannot blame small people who cannot produce these things for the fact a company refuses to make dvds in the first place. OK KO was never merchandised- no shirts, toys, dvds, cards, etc. it was never GOING to be. unfortunately these companies, HBO or CN, will not merchandise unless they see a dollar to be made and truthfully, these things would not have sold well.
do you know the cost of a dvd or blu ray? while a dvd is average 20 bucks, these things are not cheap when buying the entire series AND, they are not up to par with the quality we expect from these forms of media. blueray being the new standard, costs 40+ (i see an average of 60 in my experience). these are not sustainable for people who are already being paid the bare fucking minimum to buy.
second of all, cds and dvds are insanely big in the pollutant department. media NEEDS to be archived and digitized in some capacity because making dvds of every single thing ever made will end up being more detrimental to an already failing ecosystem of pollutants.

saying that the smaller people, the people who dont make these things, the people who are being marketed to are the people at FAULT for the fact a multimillion dollar company wont make a physical copy of a piece of media is punching down and classist. there is not a market for a physical copy of every single show in existence unfortunately. i would like if things i liked were in that market but theyre not. they would eventually become a piece of media that only had so many copies because so many people wanted it and worth way way way more as a collector item than an actual Record of the media. once again it’s not a sustainable fact

the fact that streaming services are the main way to acquire this sort of media and that they can take this away is agreeably Not Good, and Bad for consumers who can have these DRM free pieces of media snatched out from under them with nothign they can do. i agree there should be a bigger market for DRM free ways to acquire your favorite cartoon, book, or otherwise. but then companies can do the exact thing i just described, and cant maintain rights to a show. they cant keep it off free illegal streaming sites that way. it’s not about the people, it’s about careful ownership in a way that they can blame on us for copyright reasons for daring to share it outside of the normal boundaries. why do you think the ultraviolet library of movies was closed? like, cmon

this line of thinking is just. no offense what the fuck are you on about. it is cheaper to pay 15 dollars for HUNDREDS of dollars worth of content that is easy to access, watch, and enjoy rather than a dvd that can be DAMAGED and also costs more than the streaming service fee does for one month! while in the long run it might be saving money, how many times is one guy gonna wanna watch one episode of like. OK KO or family guy. DVDs are COLLECTOR ITEMS unfortunately in this day and age and the blame is not on the consumer but rather these streaming services that refuse to actually entitle you to the shit you pay for. even apple, who allows you to buy movies and tv shows by episode and season permanently, are not DRM free and are still much more expensive than a streaming service is in terms of sustainable.

this is not settling, it is working with what you have. most people dont even pay for their streaming service, they use a friend who CAN afford it. do you expect people to just send the dvds back and forth to eachother so they can watch it too? the world of physical media is falling apart unfortuantely but the fact no one has stepped up to the plate to sell digitized media in a way that is DRM free and cannot just be yoinked out of your hands with no consequences is a failing of the companies with the licenses and rights to these, not the consumers who are at the whims of them. you are punching down and have no consideration for your fellow man

while it is easier and feels better to punch down and blame those around you, “how dare you not spend your money and buy these, youre the reason these companies think they can get away with this, this is all your fault”, it does not solve not help the problem at hand. what are you doing to better this? are you writing letters, are you complaining? are you making an active effort to support these ventures? while it is easier and more fulfilling to blame other fandom weirdos it does not help and just makes you feel more superior and better than those who truthfully have no reason nor money to collect these pieces. maybe do some self reflection. the failing of a corporate company is never the consumers fault, and youre selfish and classist and a bootlicker for thinking so
