on windows, you can disable the epic games service in the services tab of task manager. it wont stop all the snoop but will limited epic games reach.

I run a bat file on start up to kill a number of services. EA Games and Rockstar games also does this.

What services do you use?

As a rental service I have used gamefly and redbox. When buying media, I have used Amazon, Hamilton Books, HPB and Decluttr.

Whats your experience with any of these services?

Gamefly

Its, okay…

Long mailing times due to lack of shipping centers.

Library of movies is pretty good, but lacks many classics.

Low stock.

Good place for contemporary media.

Redbox

Harder to find in my area.

limited library.

Decluttr

This is hit or miss. I have only bought and never sold items here.

Large library of changing titles.

Since pricing is set by an end user, so prices can be amazing or down right insane. (no one is paying $100+ dollars for a used blu ray)

This is a great suggestion!

Supporting your local library is always a pro move

I sadly see a lot of doom and gloom on the horizon when it comes to streaming services as a whole. Prices will increase, Ads will become common place and limitations on how and when you view your content (Hardware exclusivity for example).

Additionally, as others mentioned some media will just be lost to the ages. Many movies and shows will likely never come to a streaming service and are lost to time. Kevin Smiths Dogma for example will likely never come to a streaming service.

Archiving and backing up a DVD, Blu Ray or UHD can be very valuable to a user even today. I run a personal JellyFin with over 1000 movie titles. Having instant access to a library like this can not compare to any streaming service in size or quality and it has zero subscription fees.

But each to their own.

I am a lover of trash, behold my list of trash:

• The Possession of Hannah Grace | RT 21%
• Death to Smoochy | RT 42%
• Reign of Fire | RT 42%

Death to Smoochy is a great gem if you haven’t seen it.
