Yeah. Everyone is doing the Netflix.
It’s going bad for everyone trying it as it’s taking too long to work.
I mean Netflix is failing at the monopoly part considering how balkanized video streaming is now lol.
Other companies figured out how to do streaming faster than Netflix expected. Hell, Hulu started same year as Netflix.
Still was the premise Netflix was operating under.
Streaming tv is so split because there is no reason to not make your own app. The only stupid things were the ridiculous number of “exclusives”.
But movies and TV shows have much better preservation of history than games. Despite globally a lot of movie industries having poor preservation due to costs. Every game that released on PC should be preserved and playable in some form, but many aren’t due to DRM and client/server setups (you can’t play ff14 -original).
Rental-only /subscription works for games as a Service - as in the concept that games are a Service/product, not for games as art.
As services aren’t art, and can go away. Art should be shared.
