You're approaching this from the angle of 'is this a sensible and sustsinable long term business strategy.' Nobody cares! They care about LINE GO UP BIG FAST NOW! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 child) Microsoft Board: But Google lost so much money on Stadia! Voice on speaker: but Google didnt have me, Bing.AI! Microsoft Board: DONE.

What I'm talking about here is having a browser based gaming system where any computer could be used to play games, for subscription price of course. There are in fact currently places on the web that offer such services for Minecraft. And I'll bet you anything they'll make the subscription price really low at first. Borrowing from the Netflix model...

I think you needed their controller though, but I got mine for free with a Chromecast purchase. For TVs you needed a Chromecast or a Android TV permalink fedilink source parent
