[Sincere] I feel for the poor developers who are going to be abused by being forced to crunch to heck.

That seems like a lot. Elsewhere Sony was apparently planning to release 12 live service games by the end of the 2025 fiscal year (now halved to 6). The world of mainstream game development seems to be absolutely nuts at the moment.

More exclusive games tied to a specific service or platform. Hopefully Netflix will release their games on Steam as well.

I’d hardly count something like a simple Solitaire clone app that could be otherwise played for free as a full game release… In terms of actual games, I’d much rather support mobile ports that can be bought for a one time price tag than are locked behind a subscription in perpetuity.

It sounds like they’ve got some interesting plans, though I’m not sure there’s anything I’d actually be interested in:

I wish those things were separate subscriptions though. Now you are paying for Netflix being a movie/series streaming platform, a flmstudio, a game developer and publisher in one subscription. I just need a subscription for the first thing.
