@ajstyles: That's a short-sighted view. Executive compensation typically blows median salary for companies northward. Your typical art asset designer gets paid peanuts no matter how their senior management gets compensated.

@boxrekt: well, shit man, imagine these suckers being upsold for a 4k streaming package then get upsold for a Premium 4k package where the games have updates... then have to do it for every publishers walled garden! Goddamn suckers, I tell ya.

Exclusives matter.

I'd just like to point out that dev kits come with a target performance point. People are making wild assumptions about whether or not the alpha/beta dev kits are at all reflective of this from a hardware standpoint.

Talk is cheap. They need to deliver on AAAA titles and then I'm willing to hear it.

KOF was dank af, so I'm hyped for this game. SNK can walk on water so if this game gets docked for production values I say f it.

I think a loud minority will be on board for "Netflix gaming" until the rest of us get to point and laugh at them when their favorite games get rotated out of the lineup.

I think most gamers find a lot of value out of owning and sharing games. When the industry gets a bloody nose by letting the Madden/Fifa/CoD/Yearly crowd out of the coop, I will be laughing silly. The truth is that the lowest common denominator would be okay with it.

Thirdly, and most importantly, GOOD LUCK selling dlc and expansions to people who dont actually own a game. The value proposition of long-tail content delivery will be utterly dead. GAAS is just bean counters flirting with their own demise.

Shadowbringers!!

The man was great for Playstation and gaming! He will be missed. Enjoy your retirement, Based Kaz.

@i_p_daily: Yet, you religiously troll VR gaming threads. High horse denied, sir.
