Why do individual games need to be approved but not individual movies in movie streaming services? I think clearly we need to ban movie apps until every program has been vetted.
- dpkonofa 6y agoThat's not necessarily true. The difference is that the streaming services don't have exclusivity on those licenses which is not the case for game services. Additionally, Apple runs its own movie service and allows movies that it has access to screen. The same wouldn't be true for games.
- dogma1138 6y agoNetflix and Amazon definitely has exclusivity on their IP which means that there is far more exclusive content on video streaming services than on game streaming services which outside of Microsoft currently which has a few first party exclusives all license content from other publishers - and that content that is available on multiple platforms.
- dpkonofa 6y agoThat doesn't matter. Netflix still has to go through the same processes as movie companies regardless if their specific IP is exclusive to their platform. My point was that they don't have exclusivity when it comes to providing that content which is not the case with Microsoft's XCloud, for example. All of that content is only available from Microsoft because every game on the platform has to be licensed by Microsoft.
- dogma1138 6y agoI still don’t see the difference between licensing an IP for video media and licensing the same IP for a video game the process is identical. If it’s rating you talk about then again both of them are rated.
