Truman Peyote posted:companies like Microsoft making "big bets on the metaverse" feels like reaching the end of something as a society i really think this is entirely nonsense, they're buying game pass into the netflix of gaming, they won't actually do anything other than get day-1-on-pass and some exclusives out of this.

i think the cod franchise is the big thing they're looking for and blizzard is kind of an afterthought in the purchase. theres probably some decent tech in there, but i think blizzard has successfully killed all their IP

also netflix has so much content you can't just say "all bad" it's just like any studio now, a lot of duds, some amazing shows shine and etc etc its worth the money

You hardly hear players say "when is <company> going to make something new" but rather "when is company making <sequel of existing game>"

Zlodo posted:this and a catalog with a shitload of exclusives for their next gen console as a sustainable service it could work. if you can keep enough people subscribed for the annual AAA sequels then you have breathing room to bring on smaller games. i think the trick is having enough content for when people get bored of the big AAA game so they dont unsub. the content they have now is some of the best stuff from the last 10 years, but a bunch of people ahve already played it on other platforms. if you havent though, game pass is incredible netflix is hosed in this regard. you watch the 2 or 3 things you want and then unsub and you're done. they have nothing to retain viewers, especially after their stated policy of cancelling that show you liked after 2 seasons.

game pass might stick better than netflix really, because in addition to the bigger games i am making my way through i'd also have to buy slay the spire somewhere else to take a month off, which means it'd have to be a couple of months off to even break even.
