This is the best summary I could come up with:
The company also didn’t rule out future price hikes, mentioning “we’ll occasionally ask our members to pay a little extra” for improvements to the streaming service.
Netflix has routinely rolled out price increases over the last few years, but that doesn’t mean it’s experiencing subscription losses.
That includes such titles as the remaster Grand Theft Auto trilogy, which are admittedly the best way you can get the games in a modern format after the whole Definitive Edition fiasco.
Netflix wants to offer even more value with games and live sports, and part of that includes a newly-inked deal with WWE.
And yet, this latest stealth price increase isn’t so much a hard pill to swallow, as much of a chunk of rock that’s getting lodged in my craw.
I will probably keep my Basic subscription going for as long as I can because I still keep finding shows on the service worth watching like the excellent Blue Eye Samurai.
