im guessing the venn diagram of American gamers (you have TWO current systems? Wow!), and people willing to pay $100 a year to watch subtitled films is about fifty people.mfunk9786 wrote:Four streaming-capable devices in my living room. No Filmstruck support. Killing me still that I can't just give them my money. They've removed the Xbox One and PS4 as upcoming streaming devices from their website too. And it's doubtful it'll ever come to my older Apple TV or LG OLED TV's marketplace, either. Having a 5th streaming option in one room because Filmstruck won't get its act together is just a bridge too far.
And they probably figure if gamers are willing to spend A thousand bucks on consoles and 2500 on a tv, those folks are probably the most likely group to also spend thirty bucks on a chromecast. Versus spending fifty thousand bucks developing a PS4 app, FilmStruck probably figures most people will just spend thirty bucks and buy a cheap streaming device, so they might as well save their money.
I would expect them to add Tv support based on the architecture of the tv streaming apps, for instance, my new Sony tv had an Android architecture so once I can figure out how to navigate he arcane mysteries of its app stuff, I might be able to find FilmStruck? I don’t know it’s a lot of work to mess with yet another interface, so I’m content to just use what works or spend thirty bucks rather than waste a lot of time doing intricate remote control gymnastics.
