The "as low as", seems out of touch, considering it is already supposed to be funded with ads, or it's not enough? then why bother? to me this is the alarm that the model is just not sustainable for the movie industry
And it is close to the original sub free, wich is quite telling
Quality dropped because such model is not sustainable, i suspect Microsoft Game Pass will follow a similar fate, same for Sony Playstation Plus
They should have followed the Valve Steam model, no need to bastardize everything
- Bakary 4y agoI can see the gaming pass schemes thrive if game streaming services to cheap hardware improve. Of course, that would raise the question of why we would then need dedicated vendor-locked consoles...
- Kukumber 4y agogame streaming has more problems: - you need to fund expensive hardware - you need to fund the games - you need to fund the future games - you need to fund new hardware It require more investment than video streaming, not sustainable
- Bakary 4y agoIt's certainly a tough problem, but on the other hand: - It can be part of a constellation of services that all reinforce the value of a single subscription, like what Amazon what is trying to do (sort of) - It can be the key to getting hundreds of millions of people who can only afford a phone to pay something extra, and to capture them into your ecosystem - You can get people to join on the basis of a handful of games. Heck, just FIFA alone could be a subscription service. With the tech and business models we have now, I agree that it is doomed to fail.
