That’s fine. Nothing is stopping you from dropping it once it becomes a bad deal. I cancelled Netflix once the price became ridiculous. For games, it’s even easier, there’s many alternatives both legal and illegal.

Yes, we can all do that once the industry has been irrevocably changed forever, and now nothing gets made outside of subscription services

What makes you think that will actually happen? Games still make a lot purely from game sales. Not to mention a lot of absurd cash grabs like the latest CoD would fail to work when there’s only subscription models. Besides, despite how cheap these services have been, game sales have not dropped either.

You 15 years ago: What makes you think movies will only be available on subscription services? they make a lot of money selling things physically today, Netflix is just a side revenue, it won’t change anything.

despite how cheap these services have been, game sales have not dropped either.

aside from on xbox.

I can still access movies outside of subscription services so I’m not sure what you’re on about.
