While there’s no release date yet for the service, Jackbox Games is hoping to bring a beta version to “one or two smart TV platforms” in spring this year. More platforms and features will then follow.

    Are people buying smart TVs because there is something to like about them or is that the only kind of TV available in some parts of the world?

      Some parts of the world? Are you saying there are still parts of the world in 2025 where you can buy modern dumb-tvs?

      Despite privacy and bloat concerns from some people online, I don’t think a single person I know would buy a TV if it couldn’t run streaming apps on it.

          It sounds from the way you phrased this like you feel that every IOT device is just a ticking time bomb waiting to become a malware and privacy nightmare.

          If so, as someone with some Cybersecurity expertise, I just want to say that is a reasonable conclusion supported by all of the data that I’m aware of.
