Prices can't keep going up like this. Football fans are already complaining that they can't afford the ever increasing prices. A number of unexclusive deals will be likely to bring in more money than one exclusive deal, don't you think?
My point still stands why would any movie service pay a decent price for first run rights if the studios movies were available on numerous movie services , a system like that would never work. Like it or not exclusivity is here to stay , if people feel a certain price is too much the simple answer is don't pay it , if enough cancel a particular service the provider is then forced to review its pricing and packages.
