Just FYI, currently in Sweden I pay the equivalent of about $10 for the standard tier without ads.
They only recently increased it to the close to $10. Currently I am OK paying that since my kid is actually using Netflix frequently.
As soon as the price goes higher, or they introduce ads in any way or once they start peddling their shitty mobile games on the child account, we're out.
They already started to not have non-English audio for a few pretty popular movies, which is a weird move and makes it less usable for us as well.
Already got Jellyfin setup, so no worries for the future on my end.
mobile games might be the one good thing theyve been doing, pretty sure they released some solid ones, like hades port
Fuck them for licencing games behind a monthly subscription. I want to buy Into the Breach, not get a video subscription I won't use to be able to play it.
I think you're looking at it the wrong way. It's just an extra that you have for "free", not a dedicated gaming subscription. I also live in Europe and my Netflix is cheap, so I will have the subscription by default (cause a lot of people in my family watch it), which means I get to try the games for free. You can always just go buy them if you want, from the store.
No, you seeing it wrong.
The subscription is the ONLY way you can get that game, making the whole subscription a necessity if you only want to game that one game.
Like with YouTube, where you have to pay YouTube music as well, even if you have apple music payed by your daddy already
Even greedy Amazon is providing games that don't require a constant subscription to play even after you cancel Prime.
Never used Prime, so can't comment.
I cannot. Mobile games are exclusively licensed by Netflix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.NGP.IntoTheBreach&hl=en-US
On desktop, I'll of course go for the actual purchase
Hmm, didn't know that one was exclusive to Netflix. It's not a universal thing or a rule, cause San Andreas Definitive Edition, for example, is available for purchase for $20. Probably depends on what the game publisher agreed to.
