FnacPLAY closes its doors—is the competition coming from streaming too rough?

June 12, 2018

[translated from French)

Today, the VOD service of Fnac closes its doors

This is one of the news of the day! Fnac has sent its members FnacPLAY a mail signifying the end of service after three years of existence. It must be said that the VOD service has struggled to find a place in a highly competitive sector where the steaming - offering thousands of titles in unlimited - represented by Netflix or Amazon Prime continues to reign supreme. Users of the VOD service of Fnac will however be able to transmit their information to CANAL VOD if they wish to continue to enjoy movies and series that they have already purchased or rented "up to one month after the rental date".

FnacPLAY closes its doors

VOD services no longer seem to be able to compete with the streaming sites of which Netflix is ??obviously a leader, thanks to its exclusive series. It is therefore after three years of existence, described by the platform as "beautiful", that FnacPLAY closes its doors - more precisely on July 11, 2018.

It must be said that the service proposed by Fnac did not receive much media coverage and that few were aware of such a platform proposed by the company. Fortunately, users who have rented or purchased movies can find them at CANAL VOD if they wish via a transmission of their personal data.

Users of FnacPLAY who do not wish to see their information transmitted to the Canal group have until July 10 to go to this address and oppose the maneuver. All you need to do is enter your email address. Faced with the mastodons of streaming sites to large catalogs, applications / optimized sites and attractive prices, not sure that other VOD sites can survive without adequate media coverage.
