There are none, if you have have tons of money in your bank and like burning them.

In no realistic scenario you would use the maximum you could of each service(remembering that some services offers free games) and still have the time and buy all the games(and finish them) that you want.And that dosent even include your daily routine or obligations.And thats not to include the fact that, assuming the amount of money I said is correct, you could basically buy 6 launch games in a year.

One or two services are fine, but more than that is just wasting money on something you will barely use.And that could be better spent elsewhere. 

1. You don't HAVE to use it. Only use the service you want. Only subscribe to your favorite company.

2. You can still buy games for $60 the old fashioned way. Just like, instead of subscribing to Netflix, you can just buy the movie.

 

You don't like options? Discounts? Access to dozens of FULL games for $2.50 a month?

First of all, I was arguing why its not good to have multiple services like this, because if they were successful, people would be spending rivers of money on them and just burning it.(and that would create more problems as publishers would push for more things that are exclusive to those services, and we would lose as costumers)If it wasnt successful, companies would just waste their money on it.

And Options are fine and all, but at the end of the road (for me) I always buy physical game, with an exception here and there reserved for indie games.I dont need and want acess to dozens of games that I would not have either the time to play or the will to play games that are not my style.(I think this one in particular can be applied to everyone)

People overestimate options.Its great to have options, but its one thing to have options and another to actually have options, in the sense that it dosent matter if you can do that if the service dosent suit you.Or if it is a quality service.
