Hello Plex is always looking for ways to expand its presence.
Since Plex Arcade is rather a flop, I would like to have an idea of how Plex could be made successful in terms of game streaming.
Plex established an advertising-financed VOD service some time ago.
Wouldn’t it be a good addition to do the same with Plex Arcade, i.e. ad-financed game streaming?
You could fill the game library with older games at the beginning, according to the principle of GOG.
With each game session, a 1-minute advertisement could then be shown to finance the server costs. With 2 ads at 30 cents each, you could earn 60 cents per game started. Assuming a user plays 15 days a month, perhaps 2 different games, this could generate 18 euros. If the basic fee for Plex Arcade is maintained, this could generate 21.5 euros.
I know this is a bit of a [GER] milkmaid calculation “Naive fallacy”.
But it would be financially viable. Especially if you focus on older games first.
