Do you think the NSO + expansion pack is now worth the 50$/yr?

It's worth it because the price is reasonable to the amount of content you get

But it's anti consumer because it do not allow you to purchase or even subscribe to some games without paying for the others

I love subscriptions, but I dislike them to be mandatory. Imagine you have an album from an artist you really like and you cannot buy them individually because the artist now only release the copies in a bundle with other 20 discs you don't care at all changing 5 times. While it's a good deal (you're getting 20x more music) it still pretty bad because you're still paying 5x to listen to only one of them

This.

I have NSO because it's dirt cheap and it's more convenient than having to crank up old consoles & clone systems (though Analogue Super NT & Mega SG are great). However, I haven't yet felt it was worth it to spend nearly three times as much for the expansion pack. Maybe sometime later if they continue to support it by continually releasing games, and everything transfers to the Switch 2.

I'd honestly much rather the individual titles be individual downloads I could pay a fixed price for. That's the case with Xbox. If I ever cancel my GP sub, any games on it I can still download or buy physically (if the latter is an option).
