Elevator Pitch
Hi everyone! I wanted to bring up a topic that has been on my mind for a long time: Do you think India is ready to embrace the gaming subscription model?
Description
This is a really interesting topic and the question is not as simple as it may seem at first glance. To understand whether India will adopt a game subscription model, there are several key factors to consider. According to https://gamesroid.com/subscription-based-gaming-in-india/ India is a country with a unique economic situation. The average income level is much lower than in the West. Although young people are actively interested in video games, most cannot afford expensive subscriptions, even if we are talking about relatively inexpensive services like Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus. The cost of a subscription may be too high for many, even if it is adapted to the local market. Another important aspect is the specificity of the game content. In the West, game subscriptions may include access to all the popular titles, but in India, local preferences in games are very different. For example, mobile games with strategy elements or casual games that can be played on a phone are much more popular in India. If the subscription does not take these features into account and does not offer a sufficiently attractive range of games for the Indian player, then the service will have a hard time gaining attention.
