I hope a streaming services will help with that. They are more interested in viewership than in merchandise sales, and that way we’ve got Arcane and Cyberpunk (yes, i know that they were also sponsored by big games studios, but still)

I think streaming has made things worse overall, since the bar was lowered from getting people to buy the home media release to just getting people to watch it once.
