    The wording is confusing but they are making more money from the price hike. They were losing money, they are now losing less money.

      As a non-native English speaker, I thought the same exact thing. That they lost revenue of 300M.

      So unfortunately they are gaining revenue? I wish more people would get into Piracy honestly.

        Thing is, if more people go pirate stuff, there are less people financing the movie production, and thus, they have pay more In theory, of course, we don’t know what pile of coins goes to manager, CEO, similar for no reason high paid jobs.
