Nope. They were just trolling and fucking around. It was obvious sarcasm:

For DVDs, I’ve never had an issue. They just amplified the BS on BluRays tenfold.
I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.
I’ve taken to doing everything I can to play things through my computer, but they do everything in their power to make them unplayable. This includes things like adding hundreds of bogus playlists so you don’t know which one to play, adding extra layers of encryption that cause image corruption a few chapters into the movies, and more.
If they just allowed you to easily watch and rip the movies that I pay actual money for, I think a lot more people would be open to a physical collections of their favorites. As it stands, I can’t really recommend it.
There’s actually a channel I’ve been following on YouTube that covers dead online games (https://youtube.com/@RyeGamesOfficial?si=IR7AL-ZcQFCynoWO). It’s actually interesting because many of them will have a small dedicated player base of veterans, but otherwise, they usually just get forgotten.
I remember back in high school, this was the browser to have on your flash drive. So many built-in tools that were normally entire separate programs. It had an email client, BitTorrent, download manager, FTP client… all sorts of tools so you didn’t have to keep them all updated and portable separately.
It was a sad day when all of that started getting stripped out just to end up like every other Chromium copy on the market.
Been on Firefox ever since they took away my grid home screen.
Goodbye, my once good friend.🫡
I think about how many times things like this happen to individuals that don’t have the weight to warrant an article where their entire collection of online data just gets wiped out and Google responds with: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don’t trust your data to the cloud, folks.
