    Oh hey, there is this reasonably priced and straightforward way to play games. Let’s jack up the price and add tiers!

      That was the plan all along, lose money and hook people while taking the competition out. Then raise the price since there’s no competition. Anyone who didn’t set this coming, well not very business savvy apparently.

      Oh and don’t forget to buy everyone else and do nothing with their IPs.

      This was predicted on day one of the service. It’s part of the reason they went shopping with game studios. Build a library to corner the market then price hikes galore and you can’t pirate games easily for consoles. This will be the netflix 2.0
