2Rewatching DVDs reminds me that there was a period when the entire TV and movie industry legitimately believed that they could increase sales by deliberately making their product worse for an opportunity to berate their customers for something they hadn’t done.
Shoving AI into everything seems almost rational in comparison.
@david_chisnall in recent years they've swapped to a "thank you for supporting your local film industry..." message which is much more cheerful but every bit as annoying
Someone at Disney came up with a way of selling usability to management by branding it something. I think it’s Disney Easyplay or similar. It means that the disk plays the film when you put it in, and you have to press the menu button to get to the menu (which it does, immediately).
This is how DVDs should have worked from the start.
