Of course, then there's the issue of DLC purchased via online services. And then companies like 2K Games telling users they have to buy the DLC AGAIN since their title used Games for Windows Live, which is being shut down. So, people like me get ripped off for being legit, law abiding users.
I live in an apartment building on the fourth floor. I finally cancelled my cell service, as my coverage was dependent on which way my desk chair was pointed. Nothing like dropping a call because you got uncomfortable and shifted... And I am pretty unsure AT&T will not/will not be able to slap another tower in my neighborhood.
Of course, that is assuming that movie you wanted to watch in the back catalog hasn't had licensing expire and has been removed from the library.
I am currently using Netflix via a 1 year gift code I got for Christmas. It was great to get everything set up (old account expired as I lost my job and couldn't afford it any more and had sold my Roku) and find a movie I wanted to see going out of catalog in less that 24 hours.
Although, I must say their support people are really awesome.
(And as an aside for Windows Netflix watchers, Caffeinated is a really nifty little free proggie to deal the whole screen blanking issue.)
And, it is especially wonderful when you get ripped off by the manufacturer and Steam because the DLC you purchased from GfWL is no longer available as GfWL no longer exists, and the developer tells you "Hey, you need to buy that again, should you ever need to reinstall." and Steam tells you "Oh, yeah, new buyers get all that DLC for free. You, that have had the game for years, not so much."
