Ad-free models cap profits. You can only sell as many subscriptions as there are people. Ad-supported models can make infinite money.
The biggest issue is that subscription income isn't tied to titles, which each individually cost money (see: the Matt Damon clip about DVD sales).
Has not and never will be more than a pipe-dream invented in boardrooms by assholes shooting their industry in the foot. Same shit with "games as a service".
Never say never! Chase your goals and believe in yourself, don't let the haters keep you down!
Well I see absolutely nothing wrong with this statement, 10/10 makes complete sense
Assuming that were even true, what makes a company entitled to 'make infinite money'? Are they 'making infinite 'value' too? Or are we totally fine with them fucking their service (that has exclusive access to their titles) by holding it hostage for targeted propaganda?
