Maybe a case of increasing expectation. Owning your own movie or game was never all that cool - what with losing them, or scratching the CD, or the platform changing so they didn&#x27;t run any more. Steam beats all that, at a cost of course.<p>The chaotic state of shows and songs is another story. My outlet (e.g. Netflix) has shifting contracts and terms that are opaque to me. So I miss out by procrastinating. Still its better than broadcast TV ever was! That was somebody else deciding every night what I would watch.<p>I&#x27;m an old grump too. But really, I should just have more patience when my phone won&#x27;t connect. Its going to space after all!
