In 2013, I found myself right in the thick of the zombie resurgence with Paramount Pictures’ film, World War Z. This was a big-screen interpretation of Max Brooks’ 2006 novel, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. The story unfolded as an account of a decade-long global Zombie War that had been ravaging mankind.

In a candid conversation, I shared my sentiments saying, “I’m not entirely on board with the ‘Netflix for gaming’ ideology. I believe it poses a threat.”

Likewise, I pointed out the impact that streaming services have had on the music industry as an analogy. “Just take a look at what happened to the music industry,” I said. “In the public’s perception, music has become nearly free.
