It's another way of getting your games. You have to realise that digital download is coming fast ans there's going to be different ways to get your games. I think this would be a good way to play games without having to buy them. I would get the 6months deal around christmast and that's it. Anyway I wouldn't pay at all to many devs so if I had the chance to play games I'm not willing to buy and doing so gives them money then why not?

Ideally, I would stick my head in the sand and keep playing single player games without any sort of social or online element...

But the problem is that if you get a 6 month subscription, that is less than the cost of the game based on the pricing of the OP. This means that to make it worth their while, they need to keep you playing for at least that long which means more MP focused games, more epsiodic and fragmented (through DLC etc) and just generally worse for the consumer

Hmm... I get what you mean... this needs to be worked out.

Don't forget one thing though, paying a subscription fee to have access to every publisher games would be enticing to many people way more than having to pay 60$ a piece. Like I said I bought only one gaame from Capcom this gen so I gave them not much in 7 years. If they had a subscription that allowed me to play all their games I would've taken it for multiple years yes thus giving them more money.

Let's say all you play a year is COD from Activision. You buy their game every year then you spend 60$ a year for that game giving Activision 60$/years. Activision still spends tons of money to produce other games but the only way for them to get money from these games is if they sell them but people are too busy buying COD.

Think about Xbox Live. They get 1B every year with the service. More people would subscribe if they could play full version of MS games, in the end more people would indirectly pay for these games than if they only had to be bought separately.
