VHS tapes are a horror trope now.

    I think you underestimate how many frugal families still own large VHS movie collections, and use their VHS players to watch them

      In 2024, that’s actually a giga chad move that hurts the corpos feels.

      These people is like the seed reason why they are working OT to kill physical media. Now they are coming for consoles…

      If you support the slop, buy a physical copy otherwise arrr

      If they don’t sell it, that’s a service issue and rather disrespectful to media enjoyers IMHO

      Frugal families sold their tapes, sold their VCRs, and sought their fortunes on the high seas.

        ehh while high seas are viable, some people just prefer that physical in similar way a smoker does not just like the smoking but also holding and play around the cigarette

          Then burn your media onto DVD or Blu-Ray or M-Disc

            This would work for me but not for the collector types IMHO

            They want the physical release!
