But he's saying he wants to own the games he plays. I feel the same way. Subscription services are nice, but you quit, you lose. I want to pay for something once and have full control of it whether I'm offline or decide to quit the service.

Why not both? I don't see why a subscription service would replace the ability to buy games individually...
