Amazon Prime Video drops Dolby Vision and Atmos unless you pay extra::Amazon Prime Video has removed Dolby Vision HDR, and Atmos surround sound, unless you pay an extra $2.99 a month for its new ad-free option. The company has confirmed the move.
I would prefer this if they made the core shipping product (the only part I actually care about) cheaper. I've never liked their bundled approach. But it looks like they're just going to increase the cost of everything else instead.
Samesies. Didn't give two shits when they bundled Amazon prime with video and such. Easy decision of my digital existence was dropping prime soon as they announced the ads and tiered payments.
Probably. The industry is still trying to figure out pricing, and the cost of making content isn't matching the cost consumers are willing to pay for it.
no one wants streaming exclusive content, it inherently feels lower quality, plus making it harder to generate a buzz and make the series feel worthwhile or pressing to watch
Not sure if that counts, but they bought MGM and they've made an MGM+ channel that you can subscribe to for 5€/month, but only if you are a Prime subscriber aswell
