netflix: acquired by amazon

interestingly i at least currently find streaming service consolidation kind of unlikely, as i can't imagine a service with double the content being able to charge like $30 (or quadruple content for $60), but consumers do subscribe to two (or rather like four). netflix makes good money, but i think the others do too, in a way which wouldn't be much improved by merging any two.

it'll probably change, but quite possible things will go the other way and there'll be more special-interest services in other areas too.

we live in an age where the next-year predictions thread almost necessarily looks very different from the next-year wishlist thread.

once the activision deal goes through gamepass will slowly creep up in price forever

that'll happen eventually for sure, but probably it'll take a bit longer, as i think cloud gaming remains their big play in this, so as long as they are afraid of competition from that angle they'll probably keep the prices down.

i.e. the deal microsoft struck with nvidia (which was a big player in cloud gaming in some regions apparently) is porbably a ore core deal to them than the activision purchase.

I'll take the opposite and predict he'll find someone else to run it. He'll still post non stop but there will be some rube to take the brunt of the blame when things don't go well. That's assuming it doesn't go bankrupt or get sold off at some fraction of 44b
