If you're talking about the whole thing with dolphin almost being released on steam, it wasn't going to cost money. They weren't trying to monetize. They were just trying to have the download available on steam
I honestly do love the game but like, this year was stacked lol. I had a blast with it but other stuff was better
I mean porting isn't an effortless task to be fair.
I'd like to be clear I definitely do not prefer subscriptions to just buying it once. But really there are 2 scenarios here. 1. The game doesn't exist on mobile at all. 2. It exists and you can play it if you have a Netflix subscription. I wish there was more than that but tbh I feel like I'd pick 2. At least with 2 the devs get more financial support and some more people have access to these excellent games
Well basically these games would likely have not been on mobile at all. Netflix is publishing them for mobile. If I had to guess, I'd say that Netflix approached these devs and offered to publish for them and provide them money for being on their service. For the devs, it's free money for something they likely weren't considering in the first place (porting to mobile). I definitely wish the devs would publish themselves (if they have the means) but it's not how it's happening unfortunately. And fwiw they are on the play store. You just need to sign in with a Netflix account when the game boots up.
I def do wish that these companies were able to publish it themselves so they didn't have to go with Netflix, I can agree with that
The games are native on mobile. You need a sub but they aren't streaming
The games already exist, but not on mobile. I'd agree if they were available on mobile already and then went behind a paywall subscription. If the games would never exist on mobile if Netflix wasn't paying for them to be there, then I don't mind as much
Really hope it won't be just in the EU but it seems likely to be that way :/
Fair enough, but also team liquid has seemingly been around wayyyy longer than any of the city based teams. Of course there isn't as much passion and history. They've barely been given a chance. I mean I'm not that invested in esports in general, and I'm totally willing to believe city based teams aren't the way. But it's something I was more familiar with and got me, someone with 0 interest in reports to care a little when I saw my city had a team. Also, not a man btw
Maybe I'm wrong. And it does seem like the manager is probably passionate about it. But please correct me if I'm wrong since I don't know much about team liquid. I read the ownership section here and it just screams corporate to me.
As a Seattle fan, I couldn't disagree more :)
