What’s in it for the developers?
It works for the streaming tv because they pay for the content but as far as I understand it with the games they want to just give you a cut rather than a straight purchase price.
If they just buy some 10,000 licences off me for X amount of money that would be fine. But when they’re like, oh you’ll get 70% of the profit your game makes at $0.30 per hour of play, developers are less interested.
It’s not the technology, it’s the deals.
Similar system for GeForce now. You buy game and subscribe to GeForce. Both get in on the deal. It’s not cheaper but it’s convenient.
Maybe if Netflix did a deal to cut game prices to $25 bucks.
You are right that devs would never go for current Netflix platform. Netflix wins and devs lose.
