Don’t IGN own humble already?
Unless indie devs are getting guarantees for revenue that aren’t tied to playtime numbers I don’t see how these indie devs aren’t just getting scammed.
It would seem like they would be better off by figuring out how much money they’d need to put into advertising to make the same amount of sales to make the same or more revenue than they would by putting them on a subscription
From what I’ve heard they’re having trouble convincing devs to join so I think you’re spot on. This is Spotify for games basically.
Ugh fuck off with your subscriptions
Another subscription service. Woohoo.
I’m not uniformly opposed to subscriptions as a concept. That almost goes as far as “paying money for products is anti consumer”.
Even when it comes to a smaller sum, I see the attraction to companies: It’s reliable revenue, which makes business and payment of employees more stable.
That said, it relies on the consumer constantly knowing they have the option of leaving without “lock in” persuasion, and the product being decent value. Obviously, we’ve seen hundreds of anti-consumer subscriptions.
But this one is good.
“look at us we’re helping indie games and not just that but helping gamers to help indie devs. We’re a good company, we’re almost jesus christ of capitalism”
Shhh, don’t tell them that buying indie games helps indie devs even more!
No thanks ! Terrible idea.
Wait until subscription within subscriptions become a thing
It’s called an add-on and it’s existed for decades.
you don’t need a subscription to use bittorrent.
Yeah, but that doesn’t support indie devs.
Do you seriously pirate indie games? Against AAA there’s at least a sense of inflammatory rebellion. What’s the thought process there?
The thought process is I don’t pay for things I can get for free.
