I don't mind it, so long as it is an optional subscription. Back when EA Access was announced, people were worried that you'd have to subscribe to it in order to play EA games or get the "full" games. It didn't happen, but that's the type of stuff I would have a problem with. Luckily, no one has went down that path yet.

The main gaming sub right now is GamePass. I love it. Just like EA Access, it's gotten a lot of fear mongering and FUD. But it's an optional digital service thrown atop the standard way you consume gaming media. If you want to own the games, you can buy them digitally, and you can always buy physical. I don't get the worry that this will lead to bad games "like TV" as someone in this very thread said. TV is better than ever. There's so much phenomenal shit out there right now. Streaming services and subscription cable networks routinely dominate awards and viewership. Sure, there's more of everything now, which means there's more bad stuff, but there's also way more good stuff.
