There are ways to not have any issues catching any game you want to watch, but older people are simply not going to be stream hunting... but that's what all the young people are doing.
Just like how I've gone back to pirating tv shows. It's just easier and more reliable. I don't want to hunt for where each tv show is on which network. Streaming is starting to feel no different than having to buy cable packages. It used to just be simple and cost effective to just have Netflix. But now each company got greedy and switched to exclusivity. Each with their own shitty video players.
I have Amazon Prime and have a better experience watching Amazon Exclusives via a downloaded file on Plex than I do using their player. Especially considering Amazon's service has ads that play mid tv show.
I guess a lot of this comes down to the same principle I mentioned in my original comment. Exclusivity is almost never a good thing for a customer. Whether it's streaming or ISPs that have a monopoly on internet infrastructure, it's never good for the customer.
