10 non-skippable ads before you play? and stop in middle of boss fight to sell you continues?
Dark souls, but instead of estus flasks, you watch ads.
So they are just pumping in useless features so they have an excuse to raise the price for premium more?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As noted by Droid-Life, YouTube sent a notification last week to Premium subscribers informing them of Playables and allowing them to try it out.
YouTube joins a long list of non-gaming tech companies that are trying to expand into games — often with mixed results.
Just a couple of weeks ago, Amazon cut over 130 jobs in its free games division and announced it would “refocus” its efforts.
YouTube’s experiments are nothing new; the platform often tests features on its paid subscribers before deciding whether to add them permanently.
In addition to Playables, Premium members can also sign up to try out YouTube’s conversational AI feature that lets users ask questions about videos they’re viewing.
While it’s hard to imagine someone explicitly signing up for YouTube Premium solely for the Playables games, they may convince some on-the-fence users to stay for longer.
