Don't you just love being fed plausible deniability BS over and over and over again. I've lost friends over this bs. People who always argue in bad faith, always invoke plausible deniability, always min/max each interaction with hidden motives - should be given no attention and credibility. Unfortunately, those people strives in corporate environments, and as you would expect, they're often responsible for marketing, PR, sales, and corporate strategies. Corporations are the annoying lying friends you don't want around.

of all the games released on Steam in 2022, only 70 have hit the million dollars threshold. I think it is misleading to bundle all "indies" in one big basket. Those 70 games can afford to pay or negociate. Don't get me wrong, total dick and amateurish move from Unity, but the amount of people around social media who believe game devs can just hit the threshold by accident and become unprofitable is ridiculous. Current gamedev here and ex Unity employee. It is worth denouncing Unity and fighting for our indies, but understand that this affect the 0.01%, literally. 70 games out of 6000 released games on Steam in 2022. Sure most games are shit and w/e, but you get the point.

I can commend Kobo as well, I have an older model and I see no need to ever change.

My buddy works in a bank and they spelled it out loud that the return-to-office was in fact because of real estate, and making sure that the restaurants and business located in the same building had customers. He was admittedly pretty pissed. Makes you realize the futility of it all, all those useless jobs and useless commute. Do society really needs us to work, or are we used as pawns to pay for parking, over-priced coffee and to inflate commercial real estate value. Back to my buddy, he vowed to never ever buy anything in that building again lol.

They'd be losing even more money.

Netflix is profitable, Spotify never was. The differences between the realm of movies and music are so numerous that I won't even bother listing them. Music and movies studios concerns are vastly differents, their economic realities are vastly differents, the product is too.

That is sort of the issue when mixing good conscience with capitalism. Either the goods are valued at what we're willing to pay, or either they're valued at what we think the profit margin of the business should be, but mixing the two ultimately leads us to fall for PR crap. Business are quick to gather sympathy when the margins are low, and we fall for this PR crap, but then as soon they own a part of the market it turns into raising the price as much as they possibly can.

That being said, Amazon became what it is because Bezos was hell bent on not rug pulling customers, at least in the early years, so it is possible they would decrease prices eventually to gain market advantage, that's their whole strategy.

Of all the things to hate modern gaming about, I really don't think graphic fidelity is an issue at all.
