I'm not defending them, but this was clearly always the plan. It was obvious they intended to enter the market just under competitor prices to establish a foothold and then later charge more and reset the industry standard in doing so.
Again, I'm not saying it doesn't suck, because it does, but this was clearly the Disney+ game plan since day 1
I knew this too but didn't expect it to go this high so fast. Oh well, I'll finish setting up my deluge headless + VPN gateway lxc and get back to high seas.
Smae with password sharing etc.
But you can password share Disney Plus? Ask us how we know
I'm suggesting they will remove it eventually like Netflix.
