Claimed by a few studios, subscription services have been integrated into the Oculus Quest ecosystem. What does this mean, exactly? We make it clear to you.
Take a game like The Climb 2, buy it and get access to all of its content, which is offered free content afterwards or at worst can be added in the form of a paid DLC. Either way, it’s not a regular follow-up game; And don’t add monthly or even weekly content. This model (buy the game then any DLC) is just as applicable and requires no special conditioning.
But what is applicable to both the game and the studio, it may not be available to everyone. Some want to keep their game alive for the long term rather than move to developing another title. That’s why Facebook is now offering subscriptions as a potential business model
