  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?

      Negative press costs money too. There will be unforeseen costs related to this move.

        They're leaving the market. If anything Amazon is putting a shot across the bow of the ISPs who are charging these interconnect fees to get THEM negative press and make the Korean public demand a change in the laws so they can get the Internet the pay for.

    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.

    Or just remove what’s costing you so much?

      Which would cost you more in the end, so if removing it costs more, you keep it in.

      That’s what’s a loss leader is……

      Can’t remove a tax without lobbying or breaking the law.

        • “corporation” + “bribery” “lobbying” … nope, never seen that before …

    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.
