Closed systems may be more reliable but can also be guaranteed to come with a higher price tag and more constraints / less freedom for the consumer.
But You're right, Concerning game theory/strategy, Stadia is just doing exactly what it needs to in order to succeed using its business model and publishers are happy because they now get to double dip... I get what you mean, and yeah it could cost more and stuff, if I understood I was gonna get a console or a computer, I would be mad if the mt nba 2k21 game I just wanted to play wasn't on the geforce now, but I will not so the cost does not actually affect me, rather than having to use passwords and is just easier on stadia, thats only me, I think that both are just 2 distinct markets, and naturally publishers can pick the one they could get more money from.
Now together with all the black Friday deals I wished to buy NBA 2k 21 from Amazon. However there's an issue.
There is a note in the item page and it states that the product is available in the USA and I live in Greece but the product does not include shipping or anything like this, it's just digital code.
I had been wondering if it really delivers the code and that I can redeem it on steam or if the code doesn't work because I'm in cheap nba 2k21 mt Greece. If it doesn't work can someone please provide insight into the situation.
Im a fan of the very first city variant with the baby blue red and white jerseys such as our flag. Really wish all our sports teams had an alternative uni in that colour scheme.
