Samsung stops releasing Blu-ray players in the US
Did you notice that Samsung hasn't made a peep about Blu-ray players at CES or other recent trade shows? There's a good reason for it: the company is exiting the category in the US. Samsung told Forbes and CNET that it's no longer introducing Blu-ray players for the country. It didn't provide reasoning for the move, but Forbes sources reportedly said that Samsung had scrapped a high-end model that was supposed to arrive later in 2019.

AFAICT, I have never even met anyone with a Blu-Ray player.
I am in the UK, which may have a bearing on it. I guess a lot of people here would interpret DRM and forced advertising as "it does not work".
Plus, if you wanted Hollywood films, and had a choice of "now, via streaming" or "on a disk, after they are a year old". Which one would you choose?
For everyone else there is Youtube (or Pornhub).
