What's next, Netflix announces new "Netflix Direct" service where for a monthly fee they run a physical wire to your house that plugs right into your TV to deliver streaming content? 🙄
Wouldn't be too far off from what they currently do. They work with ISPs and provide cache servers to decrease load on primary network infrastructure.
I went to the Stranger Things popup in Vegas. Not gonna lie, I had a good time. It was like an amusement park exhibit with the classic gift shop at the end, but the prices didn't seem inflated. If I was interested in buying merch, I'd rather go to to one of these than just order it online. I'm not saying it will be successful, but I don't hate them for trying it.
And, yes, they did sell DVD boxed sets.
This would have made sense back in the early 2000's when malls were still a relatively big thing.
Those Stranger Things bath mats won't sell themselves!
This is why my subscription went up? Time to cancel.
Amazon tried this, they're specifically a shop, and they couldn't make it work.
