Maybe (HBO) Max Just Isn’t Worth It::Warner Bros. Discovery’s latest earnings call reveals Max shed 700,000 subscribers in the past three months, even as it made money. That might work for Wall Street, but what about viewers?

    I didn’t downvote it, but I disagree with the overall sentiment that just streaming for 6.6 years has the same value as getting a high end computer. Granted, OP could have saved a lot of money by getting parts a bit less close to the top, but a PC is a tool that can do so much more than 6.6 years of streaming (including that 6.6 years of streaming).

      That may be so, but then we are comparing apples and oranges: for $4000, OP can still not stream any content unless they pay more for the services, which sort of defeats the entire argument. After all, they haven’t bought any games yet.

      Which brings us to the essence: this comment thread was never here to actually discuss gaming or streaming content. OP didn’t even attempt to shroud the fact that they will continue to enjoy everything as they please by pirating it all.

          There is no need to be rude. I was simply referring to your own declaration of your intents.
