Following the comments of a Ubisoft executive about players who get used to not having games, it is evident that this technique will open the gates to piracy.
First, the subscription style that Microsoft defends blatantly as financially viable, may not be the case at all. They are only looking for a solution that helps them jump at the festival instead of making the effort to build anything correctly.
However, editorial leaders take the word of Microsoft that this subscription style works and tries to put into the same imaginary movement group.
The challenge here, and the one that the founder of Larian Studios Swen Vincke has underlined, is that, ultimately, the developers of the game sold directly to the players are the way to follow. Rather, this quality is and that there is no success elevator.
After all, Larian Studios have been steadily working hard on making increasingly better games over a long period of time. Craftsmanship clearly takes effort and time. However, this difficult “tiger soup” approach tends to scare away publisher management, because first you have to catch the tiger.
Players are not passive criteria either, they are passionate and warn in technology. Existing subscription settings on various platforms allow players to purchase the games they like. If this option is removed, players will only locate other tactics to get the games they want. In short, hacking will be the standard.
This reasoning is already getting hard to the line, with the sensation “if the acquisition is owned, then piracy is theft. ” The players, as always, are forward of the editing control curve.
What with all the recent layoffs across gaming companies, publishers are desperately looking for ways to increase revenue. So the idea of a walled garden subscription model with a contained flow of revenue may look attractive, but it is a dangerous step too far and gamers are clearly already ready to react.
