But today’s story isn’t about what happened, I don’t want to bore you with that. Today I bring you the words of Greg Peters, Chief Operating Officer at Netflix.

For the director of Netflix, this Game Pass works, makes his ideas with video streaming more taken into account, and for this reason they are betting on offering value now with games.
Well, I mean, it was exciting to see the activity on the net. And I think to some extent that’s an endorsement of the basic thesis that we have about subscription as a great model for connecting consumers around the world with games and gaming experiences.
The great thing about video games, movies, and music is that there are options for everyone. It is true that subscription models are currently gaining ground, but they do not rule out the rest.
