It seems really odd to have a Netflix consumption model for games. Generally people want to play a few favourite games for a long time and get very skilled at them. You just don't need to churn through content like movies.
- ZiiS 3mo agoYes that is exactly why they want to switch to a Netflix model.
- aleksiy123 3mo agoI don’t think that’s really true. Both exist. I would say single player games tend to content in the range of 10+ hours. Think First Light, Ghost of Yotei in recent years. Competitive and multiplayer games will tend more towards what you are thinking. CSGO, FIFA, and of course many others. But I feel like even that doesn’t really capture the full range of everything.
- account42 3mo agoYou see 10 hours for indies and art games maybe. For big budget full price games people expect at least 60+ hours, which is why they tend to be full of padding.
- bombcar 3mo agoThe vast majority of "gamers" play freemium "games" on their phone. The next largest likely buy a console for one or two games, and maybe pick up another now and then (back in college one person's lamecube was permanently playing smash bros; another was on golden-eye - the two xboxes were for halo and madden respectively).
