Since talk has gone into streaming...

... Netflix does not own most of their content (although I would guess they own Stranger Things and some of the big "tentpole" shows). The production entity takes on 100% of the budget and is paid back by Netflix upon delivery. Netflix then owns the license for that show from 1 - 5 years (certainly with an option for more should it be a hit). After that point most of "their shows" revert rights / ownership back to the production entity. So, if you can swing the initial budget and production, a Netflix deal can be good in the long-run.

Or... a production entity makes a product and then shops it to Netflix. If Netflix likes the end product, they license it for 1 - 5 years.

Amazon and Disney own their productions outright. If a production entity wants to make an Amazon product, Amazon provides the budget upfront and owns the product outright. Disney -- as far as I know -- only makes in-house productions.

(I was involved in talks with both Netflix and Amazon a few years back)

As for data...

... Netflix' decisions are all data-based, but I would argue that this data is skewed and isn't based on growth. What do I mean? Netflix is generally catering to "Twitterati" for maximum exposure. Who doesn't want product shown all over social media by influencers? But the Twitterati is not representative of society as a whole and does not respond to content other groups enjoy. Therefore, catering to the tastes of influencers only gains subscriptions up to a point (how many influencers or like-minded people are there to convert to paying customers?) ... and then it becomes a hindrance because the potential market is much larger and broader than influencers' tastes.

Amazon has a lot more data to parse -- and potentially a lot of data the accounts for people far beyond the "Twitterati" -- but it still seems to be catering primarily to the Twitterverse.

Talking about organic growing... :P

New all-time low $ 26.75.

He other day went up to $129 but you did't say anything... Wierd, you look so interested in stock market and with a lot of free time o.O

A few posts above it has been said that the all-time low of the CDPR stocks was around 1$. This shows the intention. Stir shit. That's the whole point of this thread.

He's one the people on boycott list. You think he would just leave and boycott.

Since you are apparently familiar with the boycott topic, surely you understand that people boycotting relates to their spending money here, not their being here on this forum. So no, no one should be obliged to leave just because you don't like seeing people criticize GOG.

I am not quoting Polish currency value. I am quoting Euros which are very close to US dollar value as well.
Are you just pretending to not know that?
It was also pointed out correctly by others that it was a false claim since the stock currently traded is not the same stock as the company's initial public offering. There was a merger.

The fact remains the stock has been declining rapidly. It was at $101 and change in 8/20 and now it is $26.75.
Explain that.

To be fair there are various other people also frequently posting here that are on the boycott list.

It was pointed out that after the merger the all-time low was about 1$.
Before the merger it was around 0.25$.

It was also indicated why several stocks are currently falling.

Look at the stocks of CDPR. They are doing badly. This is the story which should be created with this thread. It is already debunked and explained earlier.

They are down to 2018 levels.

So, you think stockholders are happy the stock has lost 75% of its value since 8/20?

You don't think the rapidly declining value of the stock represents the failure of management to create and service product customers want?

You think Adam Kiciński's failed leadership is worth paying him over six million per annum in compensation?

The stock has dropped to $25.95.

If we didn't know better, we might think you had a massive short position, and were trying to "engineer" a situation where you could cover your shorts at a hefty profit. ((;--))

The definition of boycott showing up for me is abstain from or act together in abstaining from using, buying, dealing with, or participating in as an expression of protest or disfavor or as a means of coercion.

If you notice most of the people who boycott are negative about GOG even when they do something good. Difference between boycotting and just starting shit.
