It seems really odd to have a Netflix consumption model for games. Generally people want to play a few favourite games for a long time and get very skilled at them. You just don't need to churn through content like movies.
replyI don’t think that’s really true.
replyBoth exist. I would say single player games tend to content in the range of 10+ hours. Think First Light, Ghost of Yotei in recent years.
Competitive and multiplayer games will tend more towards what you are thinking. CSGO, FIFA, and of course many others.
But I feel like even that doesn’t really capture the full range of everything.
You see 10 hours for indies and art games maybe. For big budget full price games people expect at least 60+ hours, which is why they tend to be full of padding.
replyYes that is exactly why they want to switch to a Netflix model.
replyThe vast majority of "gamers" play freemium "games" on their phone. The next largest likely buy a console for one or two games, and maybe pick up another now and then (back in college one person's lamecube was permanently playing smash bros; another was on golden-eye - the two xboxes were for halo and madden respectively).
