Totally agree. There should be a cheaper option of one-screen 4K and without the games. I don't understand why I need to pay for the games that I don't want to play.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about the games. Instead of renewing shows, just dump money into games for you VIDEO STREAMING service. Because of course!

Think of the people who would be interested and who would be able to play 4k.
Do they have money? Absolutely. To stream 4k you need a good internet connection and good equipment.
With this in mind, it completely makes sense to charge the most for 4k. Someone that cares is more than wealthy enough to pay for it. Having a 4k 1 person plan would be a loss of profits.

You can stream 4K on common network connections (20mbps), and 4K TVs are cheap. While I agree that it’s premium, just because many people don’t notice the quality difference, the real problem is the competition. Disney Plus, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime (and even Peacock!) have 4K HDR on their basic paid plans. Netflix is drastically behind here.
