Today was the first I realized that Friday night's Packers/Eagles game is only on Peacock. Is the first regular season game exclusively on Peacock? I didn't get Peacock for the playoff game last year and I'm not getting it for this. I find it kind of annoying, as this is a game I'd like to watch (although it would be better if it wasn't Week 1).
I think you are correct. However, there has to be a point of diminishing returns. I do have Prime but will not get Peacock or any of the others. There is nothing on those services beside football I would watch. I did switch to YouTube TV and dumped cable. But I will not go with Sunday Ticket. I used to have it, but price became ridiculous especially when I was gone half the year.
But at some point in the not so distance future, people will be tired of useless subscriptions.
Unless you simply refuse to pay, step back and do some analysis of what brings you pleasure versus the greed and haughtiness of these football moguls and realize there are other things.
It is on Premium, but they are offering a discount.

my guess is yes. I don't live locally.
Yes.
On the bright side, that would probably mean they weren't having another crappy season.
Friday's game is the only exclusive game on Peacock this season.
You either adapt to the new world or you don't. Obviously if there wasn't money to made from streaming the games this movement wouldn't be happening.
Cable TV is dead.
The one thing that helps consumers from being steamrolled in this situation is that there probably isn't one centralized lobbying force propping up the thousands of neighborhood sports bars that stand to benefit from increased footfall.
You can do a 30 day trial of Instacart+ and watch.
Or the best athletes started going for the big money other sports offered instead of having their faces beat in for a living. The pay increases in other sports killed boxing.
