They somehow still believe they’re going to make streaming video games take off the way it did with music and TV shows. All they see is the billions they’ll save on manufacturing and distribution costs. But then they also want to shove all these arbitrary and ever-changing rules and regulations and “terms of service” into everything, as well as the power to just switch it off whenever they want. Woke corporatism sucking every drop of joy out of everything as always.
And they think this appeals to us somehow? They think those of us who’ve been gaming since the anti-establishment 90’s are going to like being pushed around in exchange for the chance to play buggy, overpriced homosexual communist crap?
Clearly they have a poor understanding of both their product AND their customer base. I’m tired of being TOLD what I want. Stick your subscription model up your asshole sideways. I WILL OWN THINGS 🖕
They think you won't have a choice. "You will own nothing and your happiness is a nonfactor" is a more truthful version of that line. Whether idiot consumers will finally wake up or not is the real question, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Wall Street bankers see customers as nothing more than pay pigs. So they want that recurring revenue stream more than anything.
It doesn't need to appeal to you if it saturates the market and becomes unavoidable.
This is what their end goal is.
We have a whole lot of digital idiots. Yesterday I read a thread of people complaining that Amazon was inserting ads into Max.
...
Max has its own AD FREE app, but people arent aching it with ads?! I never understood why people put their login credentials into Amazon. But, that just blew my mind.
They tried so hard last time, they even had somewhat legit tech reporters paid off and acting like shills for that shit pile Stadia.
