I'm a Sony fan. I play most games on PS4.  But, I'm able to accept that companies other than Sony sometimes have good ideas, and push gaming forward.  As a Sony fan, I'd like to see them follow MS's lead here, and make their service even better.  Your (apparent) Sony loyalty has you arguing in favor of Sony giving gamers less than MS.   Weird.   

I simply have a problem with these kind of services. Not sure this is my way of “pushing gaming forward” at all. I’d rather keep supporting the developer I really like directly. If it’s anything like in music the service providers will earn more money and the developers (musicians) will get less with these types of subscription services. I also refuse to support Spotify because it rips of artists. You can call it pro-consumer all you want but it’d rather support something pro-developer. Not convinced at all this is pro-consumer at all btw since it 1. forces people into DRM and digital and 2. developers will even more be forced to make up for lower sales by implementing other types of monetisations like MTs or DLC.

I can understand and appreciate those concerns. But,   do we have any actual evidence that these problems exist with PS Now or Gamepass?  Or is it just speculation based on what has unfolded in other parts of the entertainment business?   If it's the latter, I'd caution against worrying about problems that may not even exist.
