I have a modest system consisting of a Denon 8500 connected to SVS speakers in a Dolby Atmos 9.4.2 setup including two 16 inch SVS subwoofers. The screen is merely a 83 inch Samsung 4k in a small dedicated theater room.
Now, I would agree I need to upgrade to at least 100inch screen, and with 100" OLEDs becoming cheaper I'm getting excited about this upgrade. However, I would argue that my sound system far exceeds the inferior sound that I have experienced at any given "real" movie theater.
I have whole house Denon Heos audio. Mostly denon receivers but a handful of standalone speakers too. They kinda did the same where their new version of the app was way worse than the previous. But it is still usable and all. It took me a while to get used to it, as they hide settings behind panels and such. But at least it all works. I love how I can route audio to any combination of rooms at any time. I always thought Sonos was probably better due to their name and prestige, and Denon was probably the inferior product, but now I'm glad I went with the product I did.
Online part to games cannot live on forever except some rare games like wow. But they should keep any single player parts available always. For example, I can still launch Grant Theft Auto 4 and play the single campaign, but I cannot play gta4 online any longer.
I dont even watch a lot of the streaming stuff, but this made me think that enough is enough. $140 a year for free shipping? Let's see if i can live without it.
Really, cause I just led the trial of Okta for my company, and the rep Rico was very nice and not pushy. I mean, hes sales, so yes he's going to attempt to close the deal. But you cant fault for that. But I never felt pressured, unlike the Ping reps.
