The exec said that in order for subscription gaming to be profitable, then customers would have to be okay with not owning their games. It was posed more of a hypothetical instead of a sinister plan. Now would they prefer subscription model? Absolutely. Do they expect it to work rn? The exec doesn’t think so.
If I had a penny for every time I saw this quote decontextualised. I’d have enough to buy a Ubisoft game.
Which is kinda sad that it’s been that often.
Too bad you won’t own it after buying it!
Thank you Valve
(For the Gamers reading. I am making reference to the fact that steam has already got gamers used to not owning their games)
Listen, I’m super smart and I definitely know what the right context is, but could you explain it for our dumber friends here?
