Tokskob2008:

It didn't favour them much because immediately piracy gained enough ground people didn't see the need to go about renting from them anymore when they could just buy and own a CD for #100, mind you before piracy a CD cost at least #1000 or so which was why people go out to rent from these guys back then. Meanwhile one could pick about 5 movie CDs and and not pay up to #500 for 3days or so.

Even the so called video rentals were killing the Nollywood business. That is why most of the veterans have little or nothing to show for their many years in the industry. Thanks to technology today, piracy and video rentals are no longer lucrative because most of the movie producers now have channels on YouTube and they also collect royalties from satellite broadcast channels.

For South West, we dey call am video club

People started the biz during the days of VHS not even VCD

Exactly, it started during the days of VHS. CDs don't last like VHS because it starts Skipping after a while unlike VHS that can remain as long as possible.

Dont worry, technology advancement have really slowed down when it comes to optical media. Almost a decade and nothing to replace Blue Ray Disk yet lol, in comparison it took less than a decade for the cassette to DVD shift.

I know streaming services like Netflix seems to be the future media consumption, but that isn’t likely to replace gaming anytime soon due to latency issues.

Flash memory has replaced the Blu-ray disc. A typical Blu-ray disc can hold between 25Gb to 50Gb of data. But flash memories can hold much more than that. There are flash memories in the range of 1 Terabyte to 2 Terabytes and even more!

Nigeria moves at a slower pace than the rest of the world in terms of technology, you should know this

Yeah, most of these technologies we see as new have been available a long time ago but maybe due to poverty, most people couldn't afford it especially in this part of the world (Nigeria/Africa). VHS was produced in the late 70s, followed by CDs in the early 80s, and DvDs in late 90s then Blu-ray in early 2000s.

Dvds became popular in Nigeria around 2004 and was seen as a new tech, but it was already in existence about a decade ago. Even VHS and CDs became popular in Nigeria a decade after they were produced.

can u explain further

Netflix started as a home videos rental service.

Netflix was founded on the aforementioned date by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in Scotts Valley, California. Netflix initially both sold and rented DVDs by mail, but the sales were eliminated within a year to focus on the DVD rental business.[

can u explain further

When you open a link to a website, remember there is a delay from when you clicked that link till when the page starts loading. That delay is due to the time it takes for the command to get to the server and for the server to respond. In cloud gaming this is a big problem, when you click a button you need to wait for that command to get to the server and for the server to process that command and respond back. Now imagine how frustrating that can be, 5G improved the latency time but it’s still there and would never go away lol. So cloud gaming services are likely not going to be a success just yet as long as the internet works this way.

how about when playing PS and one removes the disc yet game is still ongoing and working perfectly?

The game doesn’t need the disk to play in contest, when you install the game it copies it’s content to the local drive of the console. You need the disk for the game to play because the console needs to verify a digital signature which confirms your ownership to the game. So you don’t just borrow the disk from a friend install it and pass it to another friend. If they don’t do it this way then the game developers won’t make money. Because of this digital signature, you can’t pirate their CD’s and sell them like in the days of PS1.

Exactly bro, plasma tvs were available before the 2000s but became popular in Nigeria around the 2010s.
