2 years ago I had to move to a temp place. First evening, I unpacked my PS3 which I hadn’t had time for for a long time. Lots of games on it (and on discs), so I could just sit and play Journey.

Had all my games had been this subscription sort, I’d have nothing.

Now I know you can still buy games - for now, anyway. But since these companies make you pay for multiplayer anyway, it’s an easy upsell for them. Just pay a bit more and you can play so many games… Just pay forever.

      At least I have the game on the console as long as it works… Not perfect by any means, but it’s not that far.

      But I actually have most games on discs anyway, and on the PC side I only buy from gog and itch.

      But true, it keeps getting worse. Most disc releases are just trash, as the whole game or a game-worth of patch needs to be downloaded.
