Would honestly be Microsoft.

They would turn gaming into subscription services similar to Office365 and Microsoft Word. One time purchases will be changed into monthly fees to essentially rent a game. As anti consumer as Sony and Nintendo have been recently, Microsoft trying to double the cost of XBLG is by far the worst consumer practice in recent memory, despite walking back on that.

What a hyperbole statement with nothing to actually back it up. Last I checked, every game on Game Pass can be bought separately and is not required to access any games. Unlike PS Now which is required to access ps1-ps3 games and will continue that way with the new PS+ essential and Premium subscription. Tell me if I'm wrong, but even Nintendo Online Expansion Pack legacy games require a subscription to play and can't be bought separately. So please, tell us how anti-consumer MS is when the competition is the one actually hiding games behind a subscription?  

The doubling cost of Gold was dumb and they realize that and backed off within a day. If that is the worst thing MS has done, and they didn't even follow through with it, then whatever.
