  • No, you’re right. And combined with the easy refund you get from Steam for example, which would make it basically a trial period, there are a lot of possibilities.

    I was thinking more about very long games that you’re not sure you really will be convinced after only 2 hours. On a Persona for example, 2 hours is nothing, you’re not even going to pass the tutorial.

    Of course a demo is not forced to be at the start of the game, but some games are hard to showcase 😅

    On the other hand, I’m just realizing that we are talking about an actual rental model, which we don’t really have at the moment. Gamepass is a subscription model, which is quite different (and not in a good way)

    So yeah an actual renting model could be cool, depending on its pricing of course.


  • It’s not just that. It’s also that the second hand market is really not there anymore. There are a lot of games that I know I’m only playing once, in this case it makes sense to buy it, then resell it. But it’s not really feasible on PC.

    In this situation, a rental market does make sense. And it also allows more easily to test games you probably wouldn’t have bought. I played Persona 3 this way for example.



  • Also, LLM have been there for a while. So there are a few possible situations

    • LLM used is authorized or even encouraged. In this case it’s the company
    • LLM use is controlled, and this falls into one of the authorized cases. Same thing really. Also their authorized use cases need review
    • LLM use is forbidden, or restricted and this is not an authorized use. In this case it falls on the company to review what’s being done. It’s their responsibility.

    So yeah, whatever the situation, it’s on Crunchyroll.
