Yep!

My feeling on it is this: I much prefer watching things on TV just because it’s a more immersive experience. Plus the illegal download community, while damaging, doesn’t always decimate ratings. Game of Thrones set a record even after one of their episodes leaked.

People pay a premium for cable or streaming services that offer add ons like Starz for an additional cost. Its expensive. Many cable subscribers pay a cable bill that is upwards of $200 per month so they can watch their favorite shows like this one. When they find out that the show has gone on hiatus, that brings into glaring relief a realization that $200/mo cable bill is just not worth it. So, they cut the cord and turn to torrents or other means to get their shows for free. These pay channels are literally increasing the demand for pirated movies and TV shows. This simple truth also underscores just how out of touch and disconnected these show runners truly are with their customer base.

For my part, sure, I can wait another week for the next episode. But, instead of retaining my add on subscription to Starz at the end of the Outlander season, its going to be cancelled. I’m sure that I will not be the only one to cancel either. I am not paying for interruptions, hiatuses, vacations or any other misguided decision that undermines the value that I expect in return for my monthly subscription fee.

Agreed. This wait is ridiculous. I just found out now that I will have to wait another week. Bad decision made by Starz.

Not that I need to prove anything to you but I do watch. It’s still just a TV show. It’s only a week. It could be worse…like in season one. The way people are freaking out is a tad ridiculous considering everything else going on in the world and how many people are suffering. I think you can handle waiting an extra week to watch Outlander.

i feel like you dont actually watch OL…
