I think he’s talking about all the other shows and movies on the platform, that he doesn’t watch

firstly, in the comic, none of the streaming service has the movie, so a site telling him this doesn’t change that point.

second, even if one streaming service has that movie, it might not be the one you are subscribed to. so instead of "just watch"ing, you have to make a new subscription on that service and pay for all their content although you just want one movie

thirdly, often it’s not a matter of whether or not someone wants to pay, but how much someone is willing to pay. This depends on many factors, which boil down to how much they want to watch the movie and how much they can afford. imo there are two acceptable ways to charge for entertainment: paying once for that particular piece and you get to enjoy it as often/long as you want forever, or you pay a monthly fee and get access to everything for as long as you pay. unfortunately, thanks to the fragmentation of streaming services, option b has become quite expensive and not a lot of people are not willing to spend that much, but they would be willing for a lower price.

Not out of the box, AFAIK, but there is a plugin. I never got it to work though, because you also need some up-to-date certification file.

There’s Epic or you can buy directly from the publishers store front (e.g. EA), but GoG is the only one not forcing you to use a shitty launcher. ignore that, i missed the “not American” requirement in your post.

As long as you keep a pc with the specs and OS of the time the game was released. GOG is also making an effort to patch these games to make them run on current hard- and software without the hassle of finding and downloading fan patches, running emulators/virtual machines and all the other hoops one might have to jump through to get an old game running.

Of course you could theoretically pirate the gog version after they made it run, but given that these games usually cost about 5-10 bucks and some go as low as 1-2 when on sale, i think that’s worth it to support these efforts.
