They have a streaming platform though! Sony Pictures Core. Seems half the comments in this submission is just straight up guessing and assuming whatever guesses they make are correct. Would take like 30 seconds to just fact-check what you're about to write.

It looks like it’s mostly focused on renting and buying movies on demand. We are talking about pay a fee and streaming all you want.

That’s a completely different market. They are not trying to compete with Netflix and in fact have a deal with them that Netflix has first right of refusal to stream any Sony film

Sony created KPop Demon Hunters and sold the streaming rights to Netflix .

If you look at any of their popular back catalog TV content, it is all being streamed on other services.

I'm sure everybody with a Bravia TV is super excited. If you have a streaming service no one knows or cares about do you even have a streaming service?
