• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ 14:55⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Free is always less expensive than Netflix. But convenience is still king.

  There’s plenty of pirates that stopped pirating music and started paying for steaming apps because the apps made following new music a hell of a lot easier than piracy for a while.

  I was a pirate before I used Netflix for this reason, because there was a time when it was more convenient.

  That isn’t the case anymore. I now pirate everything again except music (because my family uses YouTube premium and music is included) and games, because gog and steam are great apps and games constantly go on sale.

  If only buying games actually supported devs anymore. Devs seem to get fired for any reason nowadays.

  Bad game? Fired. Good game? Also fired. Popular game that people loved? Believe it or not, also fired.

  You’re absolutely right. If you’ve seen all of Star Trek, repeatedly, there are so many Easter eggs and nods and references. I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IGN Brazil Interview: 'Final Fantasy VII Rebirth' sales don't disappoint but they can't be exclusive to a single console anymore⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If Sony is willing to put up a bunch of money to get a game made with a 3rd party company like Square, and I’d Square wouldn’t have been able to do the game otherwise, the. This being an exclusive could be the only reason it exists.

  Similar to Alan Wake 2, which I still haven’t played, it’s possible that this game owes its existence to the exclusivity agreement giving the necessary upfront funds to get the game development going.

  But this isn’t like the previous generations of exclusive consoles. These consoles are significantly more expensive, development on video games is significantly more expensive, and the profit margin that you could make from being exclusive to just a single console is significantly lower.

  This is a combination of ballooning budgets, expensive hardware with lower sales, and the PC gaming market looming over Sony and Microsoft’s shoulders.

  Does this mean exclusives will go away? Probably not. If it’s financially beneficial to go exclusive, they’ll do it again.

  But it does mean that the gap between the potential lost revenue of going exclusive and the potential locked in revenue from the exclusivity agreement is currently looking razor thin.
