How Gaming Can Learn From Netflix’s House of Cards

Explosion.com: "Netflix took the big leap into premium television this weekend by releasing their first ever original series, “House of Cards,” by putting the entire first season on all at once. Netflix believes that viewers tend to digest shows in large lumps and that their new series should be digested all 13 episodes in a row, or as close to it as your body can handle before your brain shuts it all down and forces you to sleep.

Well....I guess it's an exclusive show. I guess gaming can learn from that.....?

Yeah, no, this article is a stretch.

Not really. I mean think about it.

What better place to deliver a gaming dedicated show than actually on those gaming systems exclusively? TV shows get directed to their mass audience, many not looking for game dedicated content(G4 is an example). The internet in general is much the same.

What kind of demographic will be there on the systems themselves though? People are using them to game, meaning at that point their interest is in gaming.

How about you think about it...

Tester / Pulse was made by Sony and distributed on the PSN for those interested in it. Since this is closer to their point, wouldn't that by default mean others should learn from Tester / Pulse?

Even if that is the case, there isn't a lot of gaming programing, nor does it really have a place anymore. Youtube is a fantastic place to get video reviews / gameplay, N4G is great to find reviews / news and good ol Gamefaqs is one of the best places to find tips / tricks. Remember it took Netflix YEARS to get to this point and it really falls in line with their demographic.

Most gamers want to hang out with friends or experience a new adventure. Sure some people might want to watch a show, but I can't say there will be a hole in my life if I never see another Video Game movie or crappy Cartoon series.

I get what the author is trying to say. At first glance it may seem scary to have such technology advancing to such a state but right now it's only used to provide seemingly what the majority wants. House of cards is decent and I like it, I prefer LilyHammer myself though, but it's not something technology can trick me into loving. I have an option not to watch whatever they think I may like. I found this article informative and I'm glad someone brought up Netflix. Why? Because I hear people talk about Amazon Prime Video being better. I finally tried it and...I am disappoint. Seriously, I don't know what those people are smoking because imo, Netflix beats it by miles. The only thing really sweet about Amazon Prime is the free 2 day shipping and that would be the only thing I'd use it for.

"Netflix believes that viewers tend to digest shows in large lump"

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
