"Games need to be more like Twitter"

full of loli porn and racists? count me in!

so PS+ and Xbox LIVE pretty much pays for all of this. wow

why does this only work with games as a service, multiplayer has been around forever

So you can pay up for the same thing your friends pay for, race who has better skins or higher level

Essentialy it means he never wants you to own anything for a flat and fair rate. He wants you to have to pay a subscription fee every single time you decide "hey I wanna boot up that good game I liked from a few years back," instead of just pulling out a disc you purchased fairly back then. He wants hundreds of dollars per customer over the span of years, not $60 up front.

Basically he's a corporate suit who wants to manipulate you into dramatically overpaying over years for what should be a simple "I buy game, game is mine forever" flat transaction.

You mean people will dig up an edgy tweet I had just cause I'm more successful?

Twitter needs to go it’s the single most cancerous platform known to man.

bukakke

user it says here that you called some a "chicken nugget scoon" in 2012, care to comment on that?

Nigger, it is corporations that don't want YOU or ME to own shit, as they can make more money by charging us constantly for the use of their products.

It is (((THEY))) who want this retarded shift towards subscription, not the masses, because (((THEY))) can make more money that way.

Twitter has a subscription fee now?

yeah 5,000 brain cells per month

Another soulless fuck who thinks you can mash trends together top create the most optimal revenue stream. No way this can go wrong !!

>so basically my idea is we make the twitter of videogames
being a tech entrepreneur sounds so fucking easy

>fulfill the motivations of players who have social interaction at the very core
this is fucking retarded
the very reason games aren't like twitter is that it isn't what players want
even normies go on about how they want great stories and great single player compaigns

yeah i wonder why he wants that lol

Brand Association Sales Pitch.

He was referring to Twitter's socially addictive nature with that, and how a lot of people feel like they're being left out socially if they aren't active on Twitter for a few days, creating this weird feedback loop where the user goes on Twitter just to be 'a part of things', so that they aren't missing out on what all their friends are doing together online. The pay model is going to be different unless they want to shove a metric ass-ton of advertising into their games to make sponsor bucks.

>still playing westoid games

Sure why not, it's like anything can ruin this medium any more than it already is.
Hell even Yea Forums is overrun with normies by now, it's basically twitter nowadays, just go ahead and do it, they'll fit right in.
The oldfags will get a kick of seeing just how bright the garbage fire can burn, at least.

Videogame entrepreneurship has been easy ever since mobile games got popular.
The fact that most player base data uses mobile gamers as data is appalling.

every game will be 10x as woke

The next time you paste this only put "Consume content" once, it makes you seem like some mentally ill fucktard obsessed with trying to fight "The man"

Then Nintendo should bring back Miiverse.
That was literally Twitter for gaming but fun.

>thats why we should shift to a netflix like model
no we shouldn't. It's a horrible system that rewards failed shovelwares while not rewarding the ace product that makes up 99% of the traffic because ou only make money during production, not usage. It's unproper for AAA games that requires to get more than their investments back to be worth it, while hindu reskins of elsa dressup can hogg the first page forever, since a "netflix system" ensure equal share of the wealth for EVERYONE

Reminds me of when Patrick Bateman makes that canned speech about politics.

Cheeky bugger, you.

>people want to consume video game content at home at home, that's something. People get on their phones. They're playing on them. They're watching online gaming and video games. They go out and buy the game console and they're watching the online content that's going on in the game world.
>Q: Are there differences between those and regular home entertainment?
>A: As far as the technology and the content goes, yeah, there are differences in the way it's shown because they are in different formats from television to movies. But there's a really clear line because even though it's different because they're on different platforms at the same time, it makes sense in terms of what those are doing with the content.
>Q: You're going to release it on PlayStation VR and what do you do with an existing player who's signed up when I say in 2013?
>A: We're looking at what games that we can get on those platforms and what platform they're on, what sort of games we get them on, the platform what kind of features they can have in those titles, what kind of price structure I can include in those, those are some of the options we're looking at in what we're going to do to create some sort of new way of viewing and understanding video games outside of the traditional "games for kids" format in which

>"We want that Fortnite money."
Okay, nothing to see here.

Fuck multiplayer and fuck EA.

I honestly believe that modern twitter is far more detrimental to the internet than any other site has been

I'd love a Netflix model of games service but that's also because I loved game rentals back in the day, I could avoid the very few bad purchases I make and open up to more good purchases

Twitch exists.

Twitch is practically nothing compared to twitter. The entire world uses twitter.

>"subscription models are good because even if people don't actually play the game, they're theoretical players since they have access to it and we make more money of that"
>and we make more money of that"
Sure, but it's not viable in the long run. Just look at Netflix. They're struggling to keep afloat when it comes to the cost of content they're "hosting".

When will someone beat this faggot to death?

>Gamers can'tget enough .
>You can see that despite the high cost of an in game store, there is actually a strong incentive to go there. They tend to sell more copies of something, and that's great. Not to mention they can get much more if you go out of your way to buy more for a specific character.
>The thing I love most about buying and selling DLC is that even if you already have an open order, you can add additional characters in it by buying or selling that DLC. I did it with Dragon Age: Inquisition, which gives you the Darkspawn, the Grey Warden, and the Warden of Dawnguard, all three characters without spending 100 gold. I bought the Darkspawn, added the Dark Brotherhood and Dark Brotherhood Assassins, and was out and running like a champ, earning over 50 gold each!
This works a bunch better than buying multiple copies of the same DLC in-game. If you bought the Stormcloak DLC just to get the Stormcloak from Stormhaven, you now have the one you've wanted without having to buy anything else. I also bought the Blood of Gondor DLC for Mass Effect: Andromeda. And I am currently playing as an Altmer, the Stormcloak, which I will say is completely a new character to me. While many will say that I am crazy for making a

>We should move to a model where games are taken from you arbitrarily at arbitrary times due to licensing issues

fuck that

look at AAA publishers general business strategy
none if that is viable in the long run

twitter is a terrible website that is bleeding over into ruining real-world culture as well. Probably the worst thing on the internet today, anyone aspiring to be like it should be shot

It's not viable because the growth is unsubstainable. They triple their income in a few years and now shareholders demand they keep it up. Fuck, look at GTAO. The CEO of Take 2 called it overly generous so they'd have to monotize harder then RDRO made it so grindy out of the gate everyone said fuck it.

how can anybody take this man seriously. He is STRAIGHT UP the definition of a insatiably greedy corporate suit, right down to his corporate villain look

You dont have to sacrifice game ownership if you want good games. You are entitled to both.

He got the CEO spot because he invented the fantasy team monotization scheme for Fifa.

It's time for EA to just stop.

The good thing about being on PC is that you don't ever see EA games if you don't want to. It's all contained in a single cancerous app that no one uses.

i dont doubt he earned his keep, I'm just saying, fucking look at him. How the industry as a whole doesn't just unanimously scoff at or ignore him is surprising.

If I want to have a time with friends, I'll just go onto shit like Terraria or TF2, but leave my singleplayer games alone. You already killed Dead Space and F.E.A.R with that garbage crowbared in co-op.

HOW BOUT NOOOOO

less CIS white males and more niggers, trannies, faggots, and liberals spreading their cancer point of view

It's crazy how much worse EA has gotten under Andrew Wilson.
I didn't think it was possible.
Aside from their yearly sports games and Star Wars which they've managed to fuck up just like Disney, they've got fucking nothing. They couldn't even keep the momentum going from Apex Legends for longer than a month.

Game companies know that people will spend more money on cosmetics if there are people around to see them, so they want people to be around to see you spending money on cosmetics.

Simple as that.

It's baffling. This is the same company that published the first two DS games, things like Battle for Middle-Earth or even Spore.
What the fuck happened?

As much as I fucking hate streamers, people on twitch are primarily there to entertain and/or make money, while plenty of twitter users are there for the sociopolitical bullshit.

I fucking hate social media. Keep that shit out of my goddamn video games.

Attached: 1548816962378.jpg (662x1071, 206K)

but what about after? Would you have access to games 10 years later?

I mostly play older games. If you need pay fees to access a game, probably via an application, you, as the player, never have direct control over the game itself. As soon as the publisher wants to shut it down, good bye.

Seriously, imagine if all the games people play nowadays on emulators were "games as service". How many would be really available?

>"Games need to be more like sudden bowel movements"

Was he? I know Blizzard's CEO's that weren't Activision were there since forever but I didn't hear stories of them actually designing the games. Then again my fondness for Blizzard consists entirely of Starcraft and Warcraft 3.

Twitch is a cult factory. That's all it is, it's a terrible cancer upon mankind.

This is already a problem with Netflix and the like. Where the fuck's my Laverne and Shirley?

He will just be replaced by another soulless corporate stooge. Normal people don't run multibillion dollar companies. That's reserved for sociopaths.

A netflix model would never work. Not because people don't want it, but because I simply don't see companies like EA offering the amount of content netflix does without charging extra.

I can't think of anything that needs to be more like Twitter. It's probably the most cancerous social media platform of all.

No, that was EA's last CEO.

I just want to play and enjoy games as an escape, I do not want to share this with others most of the time because it kills the immerision for me. I don't understand people who do like being social while gaming, but if companies can make money from them and by doing that intise others into spending money I can see why the companies put it in.
It is not something I agree with, so I will not buy games like this and will generally discuss my disagreement with them at apporpriate times.

That was Riccitello. That's probably still EA's ultimately goal.

Why would anyone listen to anything EA has to say about the video game industry? Their games are all failures and they are profitably solely because they have exclusive rights over MADDEN and FIFA, the latter of which pumps money into them through utilizing predatory gacha mechanics. Keep on buying booster packs to fill out this season's divegrass roster, good consumer! It's not any different from F/GO or Granblue except normalfags call gacha games degenerate since they're annie-may.

Just like the creators intended.

It doesn't matter.

If you want to watch the show, you can watch the show, even if no company is stupid enough not to provide it in any way. Also, there are several torrents for it, probably with higher quality.

In a game, if it is impossible for a game not to run offline and/or files are not stored in something you own or control (i.e., cartridge, folder), then when the publisher decides the game should not be available on the market, it isn't. There will be no torrents, no cardridges, no digital versions. It is simply gone.

The extreme example of this is something like Stadia. Pay, idk, $20 a month to play all the games you want. If any exclusive is released on Stadia, you will never ever have access to the game again if Google decides to shut it down. That is simply ridiculous.

My thoughts is that you should go back, redditor.

Didn't it turn out that this guy's a sex offender.

It's really not that successful, most of EA's money comes from consoleniggers buying microtransactions in Fifa nowadays.
In fact, that's where ~60% of all AAA games revenue comes from nowadays.

I went back to see if it still existed, because Gaia Online is the exact model mr speechnigger talks about. It seems to have collapsed under its’ own weight and became an advertisement hell.

AAA industry needs to fucking die already, I hate it with deep passion.

Netflix is ten billion dollars in debt. It was never sustainable.

>hm how should we change our company?
>hey numberslave, what makes more money than us?
>i am genius

It's amazing how the media still looks to EA as the goto example on how to operate in the game business despite all the scams and atrocious PR in the last decade.

That's because it works. EA schemes lead to them rolling in money 90% of the time.

The only reason they haven't collapsed is because of licenses. Sports licenses especially. Nobody else can do what they do because they don't have a fucking money printing machine

have sex

I guess my real issue is journos follow up that headline with "AND THAT'S A GOOD THING"

What makes you think a rental service is suddenly going to phase out physical games?

>people don't want to own games anymore
I guess, judging by the sales of PS Plus. But people definitely still want to own their own hardware.

It's not *a* rental service that is the problem.

The problem is that all publishers seem to want to push in this direction.

Some whales are great, though.

Tech guys without Machiavelllian chad business majors to reign them in are even worse.

the subscription model is the next stage of capitalism. paying $20 per month to get access to thousands of games including new releases is a good deal.
