If they lost less than a third of the total, they're making a lot of money for the short term.

In the long term, they're fucking themselves into obscurity.

    We can hope but VMware showed that extreme price hikes work. I thought VMware would collapse but they're more profitable than ever.

    Whales, man.

    There's a big difference between what a corporation will pay for and cost absorb and some individual paying for an entertainment service is. A shrinking user base that largely relies on "my friends use it, so I have it too" can swing a big pendulum.
