Sounds crappy if you ask me. Why on earth would I want anything else to be like the god awful cable business model?

Just give me a platform specific service where I can play games from several publishers and developers from several console generations. Price it as a monthly subscription service where I pay based on how many games I want to use a month. Heck even give me an option for unlimited games a month.

how garbage would Netflix be if you needed different subscriptions if you wanted to watch movies from different studios?

Not different subscription... you make one sub but the price is based on how many publishers you want on it (because it would be easier to make the devs accept the license model if it's determined how much they will receive based on the number of people that opt to include it on their subs), age of games and sure how many different games you can play in the month.

but wouldn't that still be a pain? What If I want to try a game from another publisher but I don't want to try enough of them to warrant adding them? Would this plan also limit us to larger publishers while blocking smaller ones from being part of the program?

It just seems needlesly restrictive to me. Where is the benifit over just having them all in together?

Well as with most cable packages the smaller ones are put together as "throw ins" to make volume... you want Discovery Channel, but have to get other 5 channels you don't like... maybe there could be a 3 small devs for one price =]
