If that trend continues, exclusivity will become a norm and we'll be forced to pay well over $100 per month (and I'm being generous with this estimate) to enjoy AAA games, or any new games in that matter. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if, in the near future, games from those big publishers, would become stream platform exclusives. And THAT terrifies me as that'd mean end of consoles (and PC gaming), end of ownership, end of modding, end of cheap games, end of emulation and end of offline gaming. |
When publicly owned, a company is a slave to profit or the shareholders. I think they are just watching to see which delivery models work and why before stepping in. There will always be local gaming just like there will always be physical currency exchanged at stores. It makes sense that companies have as many avenues as possible for consumers to get their product without sacrificing integrity.
P.S. I loathe subscriptions
