Buona la Prima - Episode 41
Pietro Faccio and Sergio Rocco of Buona la Prima take us into their wonderful world dedicated to the video game industry.
The Buona la Prima podcast is a partner of Biunivoca.
Episode 41 of Buona La Prima is out, and this time we got straight to the point.
Not the PR version.
Not the synergies and opportunities brochure.
The real story.
Let's analyze three uncomfortable prospects that everyone is tiptoeing around:
Netflix's subscription model vs. the brutal economics of AAA titles
You can't run blockbuster game development like a content treadmill. Someone will get hurt.
The Truth About Video Game Subscriptions
It's an $11 billion slice of a $190 billion market. Growing, yes, but is there really room for another major player?
The Impact on People
With the industry already facing over 16,000 layoffs, adding a mega-deal promising billions in synergies won't calm the waters.
It's a huge move with huge implications: for studios, workers, intellectual property, and the future direction of gaming as a whole.
