I think it's obvious that the movie industry have been effected by the rise of streaming services.
There are so many movies being made by Netflix, and in my opinion it seems that they are all being released with a "meh" reception and no impact.
It's like they are just making movies to fill the catalogue, and to me the movies feel very generic and like the director is just following a template which make the movie feel very "manufactured".
I feel we have examples of this in the gaming industry already and alot of games are feeling so generic and being released with absolutely no hype and quickly forgotten.
Think about the Ubisoft games like Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Frontline, Rainbow Six Extraction or EA with their quickly forgotten games.
I also see games loosing their value being a problem. I personally know that if I don't pay for a game, I am more likely not to care or stick with it and the insane amount of "free" games make the "stickyness" even less sticky.
I am scared of a future where we have so many games and no one sticks out. They are all made from the same template. I'm savages that XBOX is going to push out Game Pass games like they were Netflix movies. I feel like Halo showed this really well.
If I were to draw a parallel to movies again I feel like Game Pass is Netflix/streaming movies while Sony and Nintendo is "Cinema movies"(not that they are all good or whatever).
Very interested to hear everyone's opinion on this
Edit: The only movies I have seen the last 4 years are Spider-Man No way Home and The Batman. All my movie impressions and thoughts come from observing my family and listening to podcasts and internet discourse
