Pretty violent but I think it could be more violent.. there’s times they’ve held back and they’d rather focus on only what’s necessary for the plot.

I’ve never played the game so idk how it was there but. Yeah. It’s not GoT (which I enjoy) levels of unnecessary

You're absolutely right about it not being as horror focused as the games were at times. I think the tones are slightly different, the show seems a tad more optimistic and tbh more soft than the game. Not a complaint, just an oberservation. Cant wait for the last three eosidoes.

Yeah Im actually pretty dissapointed by the lack of gore and violence. It takes away some of the gritty, dark and realistic atmosphere that was in the game. I think they also pretty much butchered the horror element of the games leaving it after the first two episodes.

They aren't trying to separate the two and charge for them independently, though. They're giving each of their 3 major original scripted content divisions - HBO, DC, & Max Originals - a clear programming directive and scheduling goals, which is a positive for all parties involved.

It is still more convenient tho.

Besides it's better than there are a bunch of streamers, it doesn't only force them to keep making amazing content but prevents a monopoly. Which would only lead to a sharp increase of prices or far less content... Likely to both.

Pirating can be dragging and slow.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really surprise me why less people are pirating now. it's not really worth my time, when I can just subscribe to whatever streamer I like to watch something in particular and then cancel and rinse and repeat.

It's peak convenience.
