9 months agoNot surprised really. Netflix was part of my cellphone plan, when I switched plans, I just couldn’t rationalize it anymore. I remember as a young working teenager loving how I could just mail those DVDs back and forth. I’ve never not had a Netflix since they first launched. Feels odd really, but ultimately I just can’t abide their shenanigans.
One of the main reasons I made the switch from 10 to 11 and I used it constantly. I have several services that simply don’t work right from the web interface because of the drm BS. Being able to use the android apps worked great even if side loading an alternative store was a little bit of a pain on initial setup.
I am even more glad I recently made the switch to a 100% Linux environment at home. I have a simple waydroid install and it works much easier and is equally integrated into the desktop experience when compared to WSA. Only hassle is making sure you have a Wayland compositor since it won’t work with x11 but that’s just confirming a configuration essentially so par for the course really.
Regardless, this would be very disappointing if I hadn’t already had an alternative.
