It would hurt more then a few game companies that bank on yearly editions because why would they buy the games at $50-$60, then pay an additional $15-$20 on subscription fees to play online or get content that probably could have been put in the game before release and then buy the next addition a year later?
It is the exact reason why the musical genre fell off so hard in recent years. Gamers are probably willing to pay for one subscription like Xbox Live but only the insane would juggle multiple ones for games that they might not even play online outside of weekends.
The PC idea of such won't work with consoles, game companies are going to need to find another avenue if they suspect this will fly with the majority of gamers.
