    It says they operated at a loss in SK. If that’s true, I wouldn’t wanna, either.

      Dang, stores better get rid of their loss leaders than.

      Sometimes you gotta take a small loss for the overall benefit of the company/system.

        How is remaining in an unprofitable market a “loss leader”?

        Sometimes you gotta take a small loss for the overall benefit of the company/system.

        You really don’t think Twitch did some analysis on this matter before making a decision? Or do you just figure that your uninformed assumptions about their financials are more accurate than their internal analysis?

        Loss leaders work because customers will purchase other products/services. Operating in a market at a loss isn't what a loss leader is.

        Gaming nerds dictating how business should operate is one of the funniest things to observe.

        What the actual fuck are you talking about? A simple google search shows that Amazon very much makes a profit. Do some basic research first before posting bullshit please.

    I also didn’t know that South Korea charges extra for foreign content providers which is also pretty aggressive.

    There's no "don't wanna" unless there's a "can't" due to not being able to make a profit. If they could they would. It's simple as that.
