I understand that as an industry there are a lot of interests in play. I work for a corporation currently, and I wouldn't like it if my paycheck wasn't secured. It would cause me a hell of a lot of problems if it wasn't.
But there's that on one side and this on the other. It's an insult to consumers everywhere to think that they can cling on to past glories in order to keep dishing them out to the public when they've already played them over and over and over and over and over again. Allow people to preserve them as the examples of pop culture they once were, they're all already long past their prime. To keep trying to milk them for money after all these years when customers are asking for new content, ACTUALLY NEW content, is an insult.
I know, I know, consumers aren't the smartest people around when they engage in consumption. But still, to mock them like this is to underestimate how much they can screw you over when they get angry en masse.
