    The last two didn’t bomb. Oxenfree 2 is estimated to have made a modest profit despite being available for “free” on Netflix and it was critically very well received.

    Netflix is just freaking out over nothing. They chop things way too early. They need to decide if they actually want to get into the game world or not. Decisions like this will fast track them to “not.”

    Edit: ehhh I’ll dial back “modest profit” the info I see is very incomplete and I can’t get a read on the budget, switch sales, etc. Just too much missing info to say one way or another. Regardless it can’t have cost them that much and it was an excellent game. Netflix needs to let people cook for once. Especially if they aren’t risking hundreds of millions on a AAA game. Oxenfree 2 played great on my tablet, I actually preferred it with touch controls tbh. It was an excellent experience and they’re foolish to not keep moving down that road.

    I’ve been a resolve (and premier and FCPX in past l lives lol) user for quite some time now and I just don’t think that’s in their interest. Resolve is not BMD’s main business, it’s and anchor point to get you into their ecosystem. They make their money with switchers, encoders, and cameras to an extent. They then make all their devices talk to resolve and go through their pipeline seamlessly.

    Always be skeptical but as it stands I think the $300 price tag for studio is here to stay for some time. Especially since their cloud system already has license rentals for post houses so they already get some of that subscription-like money from folks willing to pay it. Plus their server/cloud storage is all subscription based and it prints.
