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.

    If you own the game and the service that provides the download shuts down you lose it too and you have a paperweight still. If that helps.

      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.
