What is your opinion on gaming subscription services?

Slippery slope is the argument people give when they can't actually find an actual problem with something. 

All the save batteries on my GBA games are dead, and my Wii Sports disc takes like five tries to work. Anecdotal evidence goes both ways.

What do you call it when you're halfway down the slope? That physical is shrinking and ownership is eroding is fact by now. That's the actual problem I have with the move to digital in general and subscription services in particular (where you're left with nothing when you stop subscribing)

I lost a whole bunch of digital games due to HDD failure, bought directly from publishers, can't remember what and where from, just gone. More anecdotal evidence ;)

You've yet to spell out the problem aside from your personal taste for collecting, and your personal issues. I lost a bunch of games while moving once, doesn't mean there's a problem with physical games.
