    At some point someone has to figure out that the only way one these will take off is if you treat it like a console release. You need at least a good lineup of exclusives and at least one "must-play" first party game and you'll establish enough of a userbase for third party devs to go out of their way to put games on your device - but even if you have all that it still might fall on its face like the Wii U did.

        if it was literally netflix for games where its a set price sub and you can play the entire library

        Microsoft Game Pass is kinda becoming this for me. It's not everything of course but the amount of value I have gotten from Game Pass is absolutely ridiculous, they keep putting top-tier titles on it that I want to play and it is saving me an absolute fortune in games I would have otherwise paid for completely.

        Doubt it'll be this good forever but they are throwing everything they've got at it and I'm all for it.

          I feel dirty positively talking about a product on here but when Outer Worlds came out Microsoft Game Pass was like a dollar so I signed up, beat it, and cancelled the Game Pass.

        data caps

        oh yeah I forgot to mention that it's impossible in the US until the internet monopolies get broken up. But a Netflix-style subscription would be great, basically what we wished Nintendo's online stuff would be before they reminded us that they're terrible at doing online services.
