Tell them otherwise! Support physical media! Studios want this to happen because it’s cheaper for them to just send a file to streaming in the worst quality possible.
They don’t want to restore it because it costs them too much money when “idiots” will just buy it or rent it on streaming.
You’re not getting the same version of the film that you saw in theaters. Streaming is a scam!
Tell your friends and family that they’re being bamboozled!
“4K” streaming is a lie.
It’s more advantageous for studios and IP holders/owners to go with digital (no manufacturing costs) and subscription models instead of making a one-time sale (physical), and they’re trying to sell the narrative that streaming and digital is the future to convert customers to such models.
The problem is many aren’t bothered and prefer convenience and availability of access to content, until they start getting priced out of the streaming services or denied access for movies they bought digitally because the license on a platform wasn’t renewed (which happened multiple times, the most recent one with the Studio Canal library on the PlayStation movie store). 2h ago 1 like
