Subset Games is two people. The game has been available on Windows, Mac, and Linux for five years, during which they gave away a significant expansion for free. You're not punching up by calling for a boycott against EA or Activision here, these are indie developers and this is presumably their livelihood.
Instead, they are asking all who want to play on mobile to add a Netflix subscription. What?
It's not that deep, bro, just don't fucking play it?
So you care about me caring only enough to tell me I shouldn't care. Genius
I care about as much as you care to care because the care bears care to care and I'm living on a prayer
Care to explain that statement in caveman
Bear care. Bear, care.
Bear cool but I still don't comprehend
Instead? Instead of what? Just not developing a mobile version?
No, you claimed it's only two people and I shouldn't punch down. Instead, these two people think everyone else should pick up a Netflix subscription just to play their game. Boo hoo
The game's been out for five years, they gave it away for free on epic's shop, it's available on three other operating systems without subscription, do you want them to come round and suck you off too?
No. That's a lot of words to not understand that I just don't want a Netflix subscription in order to play a game. Hope I have a PC, what? But, since you finished it off with absurdity I have no more reason to speak with you.
OK great, yeah nobody except the people profiting off it likes games being locked behind a subscription, but the only absurdity here is your sense of entitlement
Presumably they could never afford to port to mobile themselves, without cooperating with Netflix. Since you don't want to pay for a Netflix subscription... You're not missing out on anything. It wouldn't have existed if not for Netflix.
I understand I'm not paying for it (not because I don't want the game; I'd gladly pay for it alone), and so I'm not playing it. I am missing out, what are you talking about? I'm voicing my displeasure with the situation. And it's totally valid. I think defending the subscription model is absurd.
