Lol nah it makes sense to me, nobody keeps their games downloaded anyway, everybody is always connected, everyone uses a subscription. Sorry to say but you’ve been voting with your wallet for this for a long time.

Not to mention the amount of “patient gamers” out there who will not buy a game new, waiting for a sale? Why not just pay one cheap monthly price to play every game!? That way you can play new games for free! In fact we can all cheer when we’re playing a subscription based game and the devs didn’t even bother finishing it because who cares, guaranteed money through the subscription baby!

Right, the devs will drop their quality control. I will also lose access to all my games if I stop my subscription. Youre reply was weird because it mentions the downsides, which certainly exist and outweigh the positives. So again, nah.

Yeah I keep the ones I play the most downloaded for sure. If thats your big reason for a subscription then thats insane

I don’t think it’s so insane. In todays world we have people cheering on an all digital platform. That’s insane.
