I had been wanting to do this for a while and finally got around to it. Here are the dates that Studios where added to the Store along with a few other key dates. All the dates are gleaned from either posts in the Forum or Announcements from Kaleidescape.
It is interesting to look at the initial roll-put. The Store came online with Warner Bros. in 2012. The next Studio (Lionsgate) was added a year later in 2013. A year after that in 2014 the third Studio (Sony) was added. I suspect that the people that were around then are a little more patient with the roll-our of new Studios now. However, there is one big difference. Back during the initial Store roll-out we had the option to just buy the disc and load to our servers. That is not an option with 4K titles now.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy seeing the history!
