And Europeans should remove Disney+. There's nothing good to watch anyways once you're done with Rogue
- u/Nevermynde1Aug 1, 2026, 5:07 PM
  And you can watch Andor without a subscription anyway

  You kidding? Disney+ is the one that seems to have something every month. It has the movies I wanted to watch but didn't go to the cinema for. It has a new MCU or star wars show like every other month. If the only thing on there that appeals is Andor, it sounds like you have a bit too narrow taste

  Grown ass adults shouldn't have Disney+, but that's not who it's really the primary audience it's geared towards is it?
u/OrangeHer1Aug 1, 2026, 4:57 PM
we're regressing technologically at this point

  If providers want to force you to pay more for a downgrade- you can still find the same content in 4k for free... just saying.
u/BlackMesaEastCenter1Aug 1, 2026, 4:57 PM
Bye Disney+!

  Europe removes Disney+ 🤷‍♂️
- u/potatoes__everywhere1Aug 1, 2026, 5:22 PM
  But they increased the price from 120€ to 160€ (in Germany) So you get less for a lot more!

- u/CristianS041Aug 1, 2026, 5:33 PM
  I received an email with another price hike this year and I cancelled my subscription. There are other ways to watch their shows. Did the same with playstation plus after their recent price hike and after they said they are going full digital. No regrets whatsoever.

Can we get Eurosport (app) back? No one in US cares about 90% of sports on Eurosport… why it is owned by American company?
- u/MancyMancy1Aug 1, 2026, 5:17 PM
  Because we love selling everything we own to them, so we can pay more obviously.
u/NeedleworkerOld46961Aug 1, 2026, 5:02 PM
This is just Disney admitting there's nothing worth seeing on their platform.
u/Darkone5391Aug 1, 2026, 5:03 PM

The company has not disclosed the specific details behind the court ruling affecting 4K and HDR10. However, the earlier downgrade in June stemmed from a decision by the Unified Patent Court (UPC) in Europe in a patent dispute involving US-based technology company InterDigital.

Doesn't seem to be all of Europe and it's linked to some court case?

Seems to only be country members of this court according to the comments.

Why in the world would you ever pay for a streaming service in 2026, like genuinely? Make the right choice, just pirate everything

  lol, that was the right choice in 2006 as well.
- u/Dynaaminen1Aug 1, 2026, 5:33 PM
  For proper HDR, bitrate, 4K, and most importantly, so that it 100% works. You pay for the simplicity and reliability of the whole process. Also, sometimes you get the movie or series before it's in the same quality in pirated sites. I've had a date over and the pirate sites kept buffering, tried multiple I found from FMHY, just couldn't get them to work smoothly that time. Had a great internet connection. I recently bought a big 4K monitor/tv and 1080p just doesn't cut it anymore. Finding 4K streams from those sites isn't always easy. I can imagine being just a bit busier with life and paying to make things just work, and easy.

  There are literally pirate streaming websites right now that you can go and watch anything without an account. There is no reason to pay those companies.
u/beantherio1Aug 1, 2026, 5:06 PM
Apparently it is due to a legal situation regarding the way they stream 4K and HDR10. According to the article Disney is working on having it return as soon as possible.
u/hotDamQc1Aug 1, 2026, 5:06 PM
As a Canadian I removed Disney plus a long time ago. Stop giving your money to a fascist nation looking to destroy and destabilize yours.
- u/matttk1Aug 1, 2026, 5:21 PM
  Yep. Since Trump started talking about annexing Canada, I cancelled streaming forever, along with other American purchases. I only sail the high seas now. We shouldn’t be sending so much European money to American companies. They’re trying to destroy us.
u/Atosl1Aug 1, 2026, 5:07 PM
I quit when they casually doubled prices
u/PurpleV931Aug 1, 2026, 5:10 PM
These giant corporations feel way too comfortable messing with the customer base. It's time for a reset to put them back in their place, let it all crash, so we can start from scratch. I don't have any subscriptions anymore. Cancelled Netflix back when they cancelled houshold sharing, never had Disney anyways and I'm not subscribing to anything else. Let's return to buying physical media and bring back "burning" CD/ DVDs.
u/Fyren-11311Aug 1, 2026, 5:11 PM
Temporarily, relating to a patent issue.
u/Jollybean11Aug 1, 2026, 5:12 PM
Just pirate all of disney's crap
u/Badabing__Badaboom1Aug 1, 2026, 5:13 PM
PLEX is the answer
u/rwinh1Aug 1, 2026, 5:14 PM
Sounds like they want European viewers to take inspiration from Jack Sparrow and his crew, by being what they are. If they can't make a decent product or entice subscribers with a good deal, then voters will go elsewhere, including doing a bit of sailing. Only have themselves to blame.
- u/MrmarioRBLX1Aug 1, 2026, 5:35 PM
  Good, good. Let the hate (for Disney's practices) flow through you.
u/Tabo19871Aug 1, 2026, 5:14 PM
Wondering if you’d have claims against them if you pay for 4K (haven’t been a subscriber in a while so not sure what tiers they offer)
u/peet1921Aug 1, 2026, 5:15 PM
4k and HDR is overrated anyway.

u/redrabbitreader1Aug 1, 2026, 5:16 PM
I got Disney+ as part of a deal with my Internet provider. I started just today catching up on some old Spiderman movie re-watches before I go to the cinema for the new movie... and yes, I noticed the bad quality. I even restarted my TV and modem to see if that was the problem. Well, now I know why.
u/EggstaticAd82621Aug 1, 2026, 5:16 PM
Nice! Then we must get it much cheaper, right? ...right?
u/babicko901Aug 1, 2026, 5:19 PM
disney is only worth it when you have small kids. Even then... its completely useless streaming service, with nothing of relevance to watch.
u/whooo_me1Aug 1, 2026, 5:21 PM
To be re-added as a paid extra?
u/kirdie1Aug 1, 2026, 5:21 PM
It never worked in 4k on my PC anyways regardless of browser even with a state of the art GPU, Monitor and cable.
u/Mister-Psychology1Aug 1, 2026, 5:23 PM
And slashing prices in half? Right? Right?
u/viktorsvedin1Aug 1, 2026, 5:23 PM

Even if only temporary, then pay back what customers pay for the features why they can’t access during that time.

wow, the reading comprehension on this sub sux. Did like 0 people actually read the article? I'm not saying there's not ample opportunity to hate global US culture slop for for real, but maybe save your bile for the next techbros ragebait post that will come in 8 minutes. but this particular "affront to Europe" seems to be a pretty benign root cause to trigger us so hard. If you didn't already hate Disney (I mean at this point, literally, who doesn't?), this is hardly The Last Straw, no?
