    The great thing about buying a game vs a service is that pricing tends to stay the same, subscriptions start out as compelling deals but can soon skyrocket, beyond that subscription tend to be with the publisher apposed to a single product so you’ll mostly pay more to access more, then we are left with the Netflix, Prime, Disney plus issue of multiple subscriptions at inflated prices for products we aren’t interested in using.

    Things like DRM is also an issue, want to play your subscription games without networking? I doubt it’ll be possible.

    Personally I am focused on avoiding the subscription hell scape that has been pushed so hard recently.
