In that same tweet chain Schreier also says it's a great option for consumers. And Barlog says it's great as an option for consumers. So they actually agree with me. Schreier is wondering how the industry evolves when everyone is paying a subscription. He's not saying subscriptions are inherently bad or anything. Barlog is saying he hopes subscription only isn't the future. They aren't saying anything with any real substance either. I hope we all don't walk around with dildos in our butts in the future. There, I said it. But I'm not going to provide any logical reasoning as to why we'd arrive at that future, just like you aren't providing any reasoning as to why we'd get to an all-subscription future. Digital is a convenience, just like streaming. They aren't going to replace physical media. Though, digital is actually better for the publishers and developers because they get a lot more of the money than they do from retail sales. If you're worried about gaming just look at music and movies/television. None of the stuff you're predicting for games came true for those, they won't happen in gaming either. |
Yes it's good for consumer for short terms but bad for company and will be bad for consumer in the end and bad for the industries . If you read the whole tweet you will understand. No need a rocket science. I bet you just don't want to accept most developer hate this . As gamer i love free games but there is nothing is free in real life.
