18th December, 2025.
You know, console games are getting popular.
What do I mean, ‘getting popular’?
They’ve been around for a while, after all: and my nephew, Jude, is frequently on his.
And was a regular player of the FIFA range of football games: until licensing changes meant the game stopped being manufactured, and was replaced by EA Sports FC.
My nephew kept playing the ‘new’ game: recording, editing and posting, them to YouTube.
So … ?
He was mildly interested to hear that FIFA — football’s world governing body, and the body that licenses the sport to manufacturers — are, once again, going to license the sport out to manufacturers.
Or, at least, licensed it out to Netflix: so it can only be played if you have a Netflix subscription, on either a smart phone, or on some smart TVs.
It’ll be free to play for Netflix subscribers.
Quite what Jude will make of that, I don’t know.
We’ll have to see …
