Like another comment mentioned I'm ready to go back to torrenting. Im currently paying for 4 streaming service subscriptions (if you count YouTube premium) where I have super segmented and annoying search UX, and Apple won't even let me pay for their service in my EU county (Croatia). And the DRM story is ridiculous. I'll just setup ARR stack and have a better experience than I can pay for - for free.

I'll still keep buying stuff on steam.

It’s worked on Linux for a while, though it is limited to 720p I believe.

Why would torrents use widevine?

Imagine wasting CPU time with that, instead of watching a mkv file with mpv.

Why would anyone pay to be treated like shit.
