    There is certainly a degree of popularity to streaming, with the convenience and less upfront cost. Part of it is also the fact that we increasingly don’t have other options if we want to own media. Like you mentioned, Nintendo is the perfect example with their subscription service being the only way to play those games on modern hardware. If Microsoft does indeed keep this as a separate option, then that’s totally fair game. I’m just unfortunately not optimistic about what the service will become in the future.
