39 min in, I was listening about Sony's Gamepass. The thing is, it already exists, and has existed for ages. It's PSNow. There's really only two differences between Gamepass and PSNow. One is, Sony is absolutely awful at advertising what they have to the public. The second is, they wait a year or so before putting new first party games into it. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same thing. (Streaming service + recent console games downloadable, for $15 per month.) Sony is really bad about this in general. Over and over they've created new tech and new ideas, then just kind of waffled around with them, not enhancing them, not really fully committing to any of them. They had a Wii/Kinect equivalent starting in the PS2, but it was cruddy. They had a portable console that could connect to a TV to play, but it was clumsy and not well implemented. And they had the basis for Gamepass much earlier, but they kind of just slacked off on it... I'm pretty sure that despite having PSNow already, they're not going to do what it takes to make it actually successful.

2021-04-23 06:34:05 +0000 UTCGreat discussion and super insightful. What you said about “PlayStation Game Pass” was another perspective I’d never thought of before. I think they will eventually do something but it will be more like Disney+ than like Netflix. It’ll build on their legacy of amazing titles while bringing some new titles as part of the subscription and some that you need to pay for. I think we’re a few years away from that though.
