It's nothing to do with the complexities of streaming it's about business models.

Amazon include Prime video as one of many incentives to entice people to take an annual Prime subscription. There is not a chance in the world that they'll pay the billions Sky does just for rights in the UK.

It only captured games this time because nobody else deemed the packages worth meeting the reserve price.

If Amazon really wanted to it could blow Netflix content spend on TV shows out the water however they don't why is that ?
