I was excited, until the last three words. A Hades Series would have been really nice.
You can already play Hades on mobile using switch emulation
Or remote play
I'm no joke considering buy an iphone, becauseso many console games coming to the platform
I would wait until they have actually arrived before making any purchases.
Taking games that already exist and locking them behind their subscription. They already did it to Into the Breach. Time to boycott the the makers of these games for making shitty deals (Supergiant Games, Devolver Digital, Subset Games).
Instead, they are asking all who want to play on mobile to add a Netflix subscription. What?
It's not that deep, bro, just don't fucking play it?
So you care about me caring only enough to tell me I shouldn't care. Genius
I care about as much as you care to care because the care bears care to care and I'm living on a prayer
Care to explain that statement in caveman
Bear care. Bear, care.
No, you claimed it's only two people and I shouldn't punch down. Instead, these two people think everyone else should pick up a Netflix subscription just to play their game. Boo hoo
No. That's a lot of words to not understand that I just don't want a Netflix subscription in order to play a game. Hope I have a PC, what? But, since you finished it off with absurdity I have no more reason to speak with you.
Presumably they could never afford to port to mobile themselves, without cooperating with Netflix. Since you don't want to pay for a Netflix subscription... You're not missing out on anything. It wouldn't have existed if not for Netflix.
I understand I'm not paying for it (not because I don't want the game; I'd gladly pay for it alone), and so I'm not playing it. I am missing out, what are you talking about? I'm voicing my displeasure with the situation. And it's totally valid. I think defending the subscription model is absurd.
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
I hear what you are saying. I thought a little about that myself, if they are paying to get them onto the platform. But that's just it. I don't know about ios, but it's Android that Into the Breach is on. That's the platform. Netflix is no gaming platform. Why didn't these studios bring their games directly to Android? I say fault them.
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
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 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
What's great is you can find cracked versions. I played ITB on my phone and I don't have a Netflix account
