Trends in Gaming: Influence of Subscriptions on Gaming
Welcome to the Ohms Lounge podcast! episode 10. Today we have OHMS and thelonesalesman discussing how Game subscriptions have effected the video game market and what what it means for upcoming developers.
Here we look into some of the benefits it brings for both devs and gamers in contrast to other strategies such as the free-to-play model, crowd funded method, and private funding/ buyouts.
Lastly we make comment on unique vision of independent creators and how it can be maintained through this method or lost from publisher/ producer involvement.
@ohmsdev is looking for indie devs to help collaborate and ask questions with. Specifically expats or expats in Japan however all are welcome. Find him here on twitter
Find us on our socials to ask questions and we will follow up with them in our next episode:
