jehurey 3,228 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Jim Ryan is now making it very clear: Quote PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has said he doesn’t believe video game subscription models will ever dominate like Spotify and Netflix do in music and film. On Tuesday, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced its expanded PlayStation Plus service, which includes a library of legacy and classic games, among other features. One thing missing from the new PlayStation Plus is day-one first-party game releases like those offered by Xbox Game Pass. Ryan has claimed adopting a similar policy would result in lower quality games. With over 25 million subscribers, the influence of Xbox Game Pass’s subscription model is already becoming significant. However, Sony’s Jim Ryan told GI.biz he was not convinced it would ever become truly dominant like in music and TV. Microsoft has previously stated that Xbox Game Pass subscribers still spend on full titles outside of the service and on additional content. “Subscription has certainly grown in importance over the course of the last few years,” he said. “Our PlayStation Plus subscriber number has grown from zero in 2010, to 48 million now. And we anticipate, for our services, that we will see further growth for the subscriber number. “But the medium of gaming is so very different to music and to linear entertainment, that I don’t think we’ll see it go to the levels that we see with Spotify and Netflix.” Usually when somebody brings up subscription gaming services, they don't really say anything concrete. They usually sound cordial about it. but now, Jim Ryan is being quite clear about it. He's assessed the competition, and he's analyzed its potential effect, and he's determined that it is not a threat to their traditional gaming business model. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
