wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 iFollow-like services come through games not having been sold. If games haven't been sold, teams don't get the huge sums of money injected in. It's a bit annoying for sure but I absolutely wouldn't want a monopoly of media. You might have to pay for 2 or 3 different services. But if these big companies knew the consumer only had one means of getting this media, prices would hike. Link to post Share on other sites

It is disappointing because Quest can only be viewed on an actual TV. You can't get in on a laptop or on demand. :( Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if this is sarcasm but in 2018 it is a little bit silly. Are you saying that people don’t own television sets? It’s the 21st century, everyone should have one. Those of us that work in the tv industry sweat blood and tears to make programmes that look fantastic and sound brilliant, we invest a lot of our own money in technology we push things to the limits and yet people won’t even buy a decent tv screen to watch the stuff that we produce, on?? Seriously how can you watch anything on a shi tty laptop? Link to post Share on other sites

I love watching football, movies etc on my big screen tv and only use the iPad in emergencies and the occasional Ifollow stream on the laptop. I’d rather go to bed or talk to my wife than watching a movie on a laptop :) Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Also, there's all sorts of things that go into making watching TV & Movies a very good experience in the home. A decent TV doesn't make the difference on its own, it certainly makes no difference in this day and age about the sound because most TVs these days have integrated sound that sounds like scraping a plate. What used to be expanding on a good experience with surround sound speakers is now part of the package required to just get a good experience. I have a big 4KTV downstairs in my house, not a great brand and certainly by no means the most expensive on the market and that still forced me to pay it off over 3 months. The best sound I get is still from my desktop PC in our play-room upstairs because I can actually afford good PC speakers, I can't afford a good sound system for that TV. I work in the games industry Billy, I know all about the people who put their blood, sweat and tears into sound and graphics that make the most of a good TV and sound system/headphones. Expecting people to purchase things that make the most of them over the cheapest option is just exclusionary. Link to post Share on other sites
