It is inevitable that video games will follow the direction of the entertainment industry.
Chris Evenden, vice president of investor relations at Electronic Arts, commented at a conference on the company's vision for the future of the gaming world and is not far from what we already regularly consume in music and video: streaming ", Or use the product directly over the Internet.
"I think it is inevitable that the world of video games will move in the same direction in which music and video have already moved, in the same sense that people have abandoned a model of ownership in favor of access "Explains Evenden. "You'll see that in games, as you've seen on Spotify and Netflix and other multimedia products."
The Internet requirements do not seem to worry EA in the future: "The infrastructure barrier is still there, but it is going down very quickly. We believe that in a couple of years, you will see important technology announcements that will be commercially important over the next three to five years. "
For now, parents of FIFA or Plants vs. Zombies are ready for the future with a subscription model like EA Access. Microsoft has also jumped on the bandwagon with Xbox Game Pass, so it is not surprising to see other companies move to this field soon.
