Press X to doubt. Didn't Google try this sort of thing with Stadia already? Why is Netflix spending money on becoming a video game company? Are they trying to justify the price increases?
They are trying to diversify since streaming is not a sustainable business on its own. What they are trying is more similar to something like Apple Arcade than Stadia.
No, I meant streaming of movies and tv shows in the current market. Someone has to fold eventually when the current strikes are over.
Edit: Streaming services are paying to much to generate content in a battle for customers. Actors and writers are not getting paid enough. By diversifying Netflix has a better chance at competing.
Strikes not withstanding, I don't see how that business is unsustainable. Film and television companies integrated and consolidated until there's at least 4 or 5 major players in that space for healthy competition, and the back of the napkin math makes plenty of sense.
It’s unsustainable because everything is being splintered into different streaming services, forcing the consumer to spend more to watch the one or two decent offerings on each platform. This is causing people to return to the days of mass pirating.
That's not unsustainable...that's a healthy, competitive market, and a great deal better for the consumer than the television model it replaced. You also don't need to stay subscribed to a streaming service after you've watched the show you wanted to watch, and even if you stay subscribed to only the ones with shows you like, it's far cheaper than cable.
Oh man I read this title backwards and went into that article expecting to be angry. I thought it was saying that features from the first Cities: Skylines would only be available as DLC in 2. Very happy it's the other way around.
I got my pitchfork out and started to sharpen it.
Cities Skylines is one of my top games, even with loads paid DLC. The modding capability and community make up for it.
I have to imagine it is some kind of weird combination of the Portal mode and the CoD concept of unlocking content for a central shared mode when you buy each release or something like that
I mean nice but honestly I’m not all that excited about it right now without seeing some actual specs besides it’ll have a LCD screen an ‘larger’ internal storage.
Notwithstanding but the switch 2 will have significant competition the steam deck and its competitors along with the fact that Microsoft and Sony are releasing their first party games on PC, Nintendo’s first party exclusives just aren’t as big of a draw for me anymore.
Dumb gamer whales will continue fueling it, too blinded by the fact that they're being robbed blind. The same idiots that gamify with WATA on sales. The same idiots that love freemium games and will pay top dollar to keep an advantage.
The continual assembly line of idiots that invest in this, the more likely SC will never be finalized. They know if that they finalize the game, the gravy train ends.
Yeah, but its linux version was absolute unstable dogshit that was plagued with bugs.
Meanwhile, the windows version via proton ran 3x faster, and almost crash free (and i say almost because once you get to a certain point in modding there will always be crashes)
I’ll take a windows version via proton any day of the week, if Cities:Skylines linux version is my alternative.
Hmm very different experience for me, I don’t have any problems with the native Linux version. Hardly any crashes or performance issues. I don’t use any mods so maybe that’s the reason.
