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.

But Activision don't want to get $60 per year from CoD, they want $60 + like $30 from Elite, so if they are making this amount from CoD alone, why spend so much money making other games?
You say you haven't spent much money on Capcom, but if you feel that way, you are not going to subscribe to them. People like THQ and the like are going to suffer since they have fewer released per year, so a subscription model is going to hurt them not benefit them
The benefits to the publishers don't come from more people playing their games, it comes from people buying more DLC from them, as everything else will be included, so this is just going to be even worse for gamers....

DLCs could remain the same and people should still pay to get them. Activision doesn't make only CODs they also make other games. But those who only spend their 60$ on COD never spend on those other games. With a subscription they could play these games and maybe buy them thus giving them more money that otherwise wouldn't have anyway.

But does it really give them enough extra money to justify working on all those games? And CoD players aren't really interested in many other games. I could see how if it was forced on people, they might expand their gaming comfort zone, but otherwise, just buying a year of CoD is cheaper
