| Topic | A Microsoft shareholder grilled them about their lack of Xbox exclusives |
| Darmik 02/02/18 12:12:06 AM #56: | People have already been subscribing to video game console services for over a decade now and they haven't really changed much outside of the odd price increase. They've actually added value to them thanks to PS+ games and Games with Gold. These subscriptions are valuable, valuable stuff. I just don't really get the doomsday scenarios. It's like worrying Netflix will suddenly turn into a cable service and add commercial breaks and channels because that's what cable did to customers. One shoe doesn't fit all. They're completely different products in completely different environments. They're not sharing profits with retailers. They're not worried about trade-ins. They're not stressing about a game flopping and being sent back. It's all about adding value to their subscription and growing their userbase. We have constant examples of this. EA and Ubisoft give away games on Origin and uPlay because they want you to use the store and to open an account. A service is simply different than an individual game. Besides there are always going to people who want to own their games. That's not going away. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard! |
