I think the whole industry is in a upheaval and it’s much needed. It’ll take time for content to get back to a regular pace but it’s healthy considering the industry is splintering itself hard rn. Sony looking like geniuses for not having a streamer for their own stuff and just licensing off stuff

Sony did not need a streamer as they had no broadcast or cable businesses of note that needed to be replaced. That cable and broadcast revenue and profits made up the bulk of their business and was far more valuable than the studios.
