Taking games that already exist and locking them behind their subscription. They already did it to Into the Breach. Time to boycott the the makers of these games for making shitty deals (Supergiant Games, Devolver Digital, Subset Games).
Subset Games is two people. The game has been available on Windows, Mac, and Linux for five years, during which they gave away a significant expansion for free. You're not punching up by calling for a boycott against EA or Activision here, these are indie developers and this is presumably their livelihood.
Instead, they are asking all who want to play on mobile to add a Netflix subscription. What?
Presumably they could never afford to port to mobile themselves, without cooperating with Netflix. Since you don't want to pay for a Netflix subscription... You're not missing out on anything. It wouldn't have existed if not for Netflix.
I understand I'm not paying for it (not because I don't want the game; I'd gladly pay for it alone), and so I'm not playing it. I am missing out, what are you talking about? I'm voicing my displeasure with the situation. And it's totally valid. I think defending the subscription model is absurd.
