Comment on Home theater fans are being starved of the new 4K Blu-ray releases they want and it's not okay
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 4 months agoI doubt that Disney will be anywhere near bankruptcy for a long time. I think they’ve realized that keeping content on streaming platforms gives them control over it indefinitely, even if operating the platform isn’t profitable. They probably won’t release a lot of that content on physical media unless the streaming becomes drastically costly.
If Blu-ray is still being distributed in 10-15 years it will be like gwttign a VHS tape today.

Fair enough, I should have said streaming services instead of production studios.
Investors have started knocking at Netflix's door asking for the profits and it's only a matter of time before stakeholders do the same to Hollywood-run streaming services.
IDK. Blu-Ray margins are good enough for them to keep making them for most movies at least, from what I see. It's for TV seasons that I think Blu-Ray releases are in jeopardy, although we'll continue to get DVD releases for quite awhile IMHO.
