Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

    I almost never play MP games, but I think a subscription makes a ton of sense for those since it supports server costs.

    But for SP games, I would really rather not be on the clock. I’ve been halfway through a Netflix series when it gets taken off way to often, and I don’t want that for games too. I just don’t have a ton of time for games, so sometimes a game will game a year, other times I’ll get through it in a week.

    I also prefer indie games to AAA, and selection on a subscription service would probably be mediocre for the games I like to play.

    So no subscriptions for me, thanks.
