You'll own nothing and be happy
The unfortunate truth is this is the kind of commercial model towards which things are heading and the concerns of the people in this thread will likely be negligible in such terms.
What is the volume of sales that has enabled the game to top the charts year after year? How does that compare to the number of users registered to this community and/or the number of posters in the FMM forum specifically?
It may be the case that most purchasers of the game are casual users and not registered here. Further, most of those people probably have Netflix subscriptions. And the number of Netflix users that will now be exposed to the game and added to the volume of casual users will outweigh the number of die hards that are prepared to boycott the game as a result of this.
If the above is accurate, people like Miles should just be frank about it instead of bullshitting us with the "odd way to look at it" comment.
What this means for the long term quality of the game is another question. One would think that Marc Vaughan is a very trustworthy and safe pair of hands, but when does the commercial pressure from above and/or the temptation of riches trump all else?
