A simple google search of "movie industry profits" that yields 5 results on the first page of box office records in the last 3 years? The list of highest grossing movies in history (with adjusted values) has 8 out of 10 being made in the last five years alone.

Oh please. Before digital piracy it was VCRs and cassette tapes that got the "they are killing us" argument, and before that bootleg vinyls. Every generation a boogie man arises that threatens thems, it impacts them slightly while they adapt, and in the end?

Well, thank you for using as source an article that puts the fault of your entire argument ON THE MEDIA CREATOR'S SIDE.

Yes, I'm sure the movies making hundreds of millions of dollars in months are certainly hurting. As for music? Allow artists themselves to bypass the labels and price things cheaper, and they'll get boost in sales AND more revenue than under their thumb.

Considering android has an unresolved bug where it generates dummy data that can take up to GBs of space, that can become a nightmare to recover, forcing apps is a small annoyance.

And based on the track record of similar pharaonic enterprises in the country, unlikely to ever be built. We are still waiting for the bullet train announced... in 2007, I think? The dams in the south were also announced yearly for four or five years and still remain as projects nowhere near started.

Only thing I care to have confirmed is whether multiplayer in BBS is gonna be a thing or not. Everything else I'm already familiar with.

Me and a few friends suffered the same conversation while helping someone else move into his new apartment. All of us college students in sciences, one of them actually graduated in Biotech could not fathom the concept. It was exasperating.

Region restrictions are NEVER done to lower prices to accommodate people in poorer countries. I do not know a single country where they actually sell games bellow the US 60 dollar mark.
