I partially agree with this topic. The thing that will suck is that either

A) All major gaming companies try to create their own subscription service meaning having to pay tons of monthly fees to play the games you want plus leading most of the companies to fail which leads to point B
B) MS, Google, Apple buy all the game developers potentially killing Sony gaming division, Steam, Epic and Ubisoft stores and potentially traditional gaming
C) MS, Google, and Apple plus Steam, Sony and Epic (Ubisoft fails in this scenario) succeed at creating solid subscription services leading to basically problem A which means having to pay a crap ton of monthly subscriptions to be able to play that one must play game

I do think subscription gaming is the next evolution of gaming but man it looks gloomy cuz I think its easier to buy 2 consoles to play all the games people want rather than having multiple subscription services. After all, you can always grab your 2nd console late in its lifetime and through a bargain same as the games. But subscriptions only go in price, they never go down.

I should also mention Nintendo is the one and only that will survive it all and require you to buy its hardware to get into either traditional purchase games or its subscription service.
