    I wouldn’t say that I’m against subscription models as an option alongside a traditional purchasing paradigm for games, but if what we’re seeing now is simply a trojan horse for a wholesale upheaval of that traditional purchasing model sometime in the not-so-distant future then I’d happily see it fail. Just in general the constant push toward an all-digital gaming future consistently concerns me.

    But I’m old. I’d be willing to bet that most young people and teens gaming today probably couldn’t care less about that prospect since they’ve never experienced this medium during a time before digital distribution, day 1 patches, etc.

      I’m honestly a fan. I don’t play games that often so I’ll usually just get a month or two at a time, play a bunch of stuff I missed and then just cancel for 6 months when I’m busy again. The last time I got it was when halo infinite came out. I’m about to turn it on again.
