Exactly. I’d be fine with picking my favorite streaming service and adding on a bundle for some additional content. As in, I could get Netflix for $10/month, and add Disney+ content for another $5 or whatever.

That’s kind of how Steam works, I can buy any game I want and both Steam and the dev get paid. Or I can buy the game through the dev directly and the dev gets a bigger cut. I’ll choose Steam if the experience there is better, or I’ll choose the dev if they provide a good experience. That should be how streaming works…

God, it’s cable TV packages all over again. Streaming was supposed to destroy this problem, not become it!
