Actually its Netflix original content that has kept me paying for the service.  Who cares if there are some embarrasing movies within the crop of great shows, documentaries, mini series etc.  The fact that you have so much content for your sub constantly is the selling point.  Oh well, I guess to each their own.  I mean you are dissing the service for some reason that I do not understand but that is not the point you made earlier.  The fact is, the model works and its very profitable.  Not understanding the model and why it works is a problem more on your ability to understand the market then the model itself. 

My point is, that model is only sustainable with lowbudget production(which can end up creating good products every once in a while)m but it is not sustainable with high budget blockbuster productions, I can live with the fact that we could have both models, but people pushing for companies like Sony and maybe eventually Nintendo to put their big games there will just kill the high budget aaa gaming market, and we will end with low budget productions just like Netflix.

people always tell me, but you don’t understand the market...well the Sony ceo just said what I have always said about gaming subscriptions, and where’s is nintendo why are they so silent about gaming services when it’s such a great deal?

100M budget for development alone is still far from the norms among all AAA. I Know The Last of Us 2, is rumored to have reached this figure but cannot find any reliable info on other exclusives that did recently. But still, that kind of budget is only unlocked for new entries of an already well established, well loved, successful ip and when there's basically no risk related to the investment. Most of your source actually reflect this. 

Reliable information on the subject is scarce so there's guessing from my part but I'll argue that 30m-60m should still provide enough budget for many AAA and is probably the kind of budget you find for most new ip AAA titles and most sequel. Uncharted 4 budget was rumored to be about 50M.

Please don't write your text IN the quotes but UNDER the quotes.

Fixed, sorry 

I want Jim Ryan to go.

Would like to see the sources for the claim that a remake uses 30% the budget of the original.

Considering FF VIIR then the original must really have costed a lot.

The only reason why MS first party games releasing on gamepass on day 1 as being sustainable is because most of them are now/ are becoming service games. Halo Infinite, Grounded, Forza, Fable Reboot is rumored to be a MMo- lite game, etc.

So their bet is that they will have reccurent revenue - Microtransactions. That goes against the philosofy of Sony and Nintendo games for the most part, where they are trying to be single player games, or experiences rather than services.

I fear the direction MS is going for will only worsen the quality of their games. But I really hope I'm wrong.

Sorry I like playing more games then you for hundreds less every year (shrugs). 

Well I mean I played 20 games last year and 15 this year so far on Game Pass alone where as you would have to spend hundreds to even approach what I’m playing for $180 a year. 

I am very aware it’s all a business on both sides. But I’m clearly getting the better deal, if anything from a purely financial and bang-for-buck point of view.

Imo Sony demands more of your money because they can.
