20 years ago, Steam was the reason I stopped pirating games. Netflix et al had the same effect for TV & movies. Today, I subscribe to 5 different streaming services, and occasionally do a month of various “channels” in those apps. I want to pay for content, but the camels back is about to break. I truly don’t want to set sails again, but the bullshit has been adding up for a while. Ads is where I draw the line.
