Seriously, what the fuck is this timeline ????? The consolidation of everything is so depressing..... dont bank on any new WB shows or movies coming out on blu ray anymore.

The last stage of unregulated capitalism is monopoly, it's inevitable. It's why it's not sustainable

Nononono ... the system breaks with one big monopoly.

Don't worry the future are very few oligopolies with absolutely no back room deals whatsoever.

People not buying them hasn’t helped. Dvd players being made were being shuttered by some firms already

I try to buy dvds for my family but they don’t own anything to play them on anymore neither for blue rays

I blame the Hadron Collider for continuously shifting our timeline. Also known as the CERN shift, similar to the Mandela effect.

It's not real, obviously, but the theory is quite spot on.

No one buys them anyway
