Well here's the thing, the people who think they might want to go back to play a six year old game are probably buying it, the people who play most games once and never go back are just going to get a better deal with this kind of subscription.
So long as there's always a choice to "buy" the game then I really don't see it as a problem. That's certainly Microsoft's approach with gamepass, I assume they and ubisoft both will happily let people give them $70 for a game if that's what the customer prefers.
Yeah exactly. It's an option for those who prefer the old ways, but since they offered the subscriptions, I haven't bought any more Ubi or Gamepass games. Starfield was a bullet dodged due to Gamepass, lol. Talk about throwaway games...
These days only the indie studios are making the actually good titles. The AAA ones are just high production interactive movies with little actual gameplay. They fit the play once subscription model quite well.
