Why would you need to buy into so many subscriptions? Over time, you would only sub to the ones that make sense for you. The XBlive and PS+ model was never going to last. THe publishers lose out on those deals. Just like makers of movies and tv shows. THey have no way to make extra money in the digital world that way. So, they need a format that allows them to make money on their content. THe only way that the XBL or PS+ would work long term is if they provided a XBL+ or PS++ type of service. It would allow publishers to get some extra $$$ for their game being selected or used(similar to PSNow). That will be the future anyway. THe publishers just don't want a bigger chunk of the pie to go to Sony/M$ instead of themselves. |
I guess you prefer a "Dreamworks/Paramount/TriStar/Disney/20th Century Fox/etc." Access then? All separate subs that you'd have to pay to enjoy their content....instead of, you know. Netflix, where they can all go. Because those movie distributers won't "have to go through Netflix's interface" that way. They lose out on Netflix deals (even though they keep putting movies on it).
That's the logic you're giving right now
