2 years ago I had to move to a temp place. First evening, I unpacked my PS3 which I hadn’t had time for for a long time. Lots of games on it (and on discs), so I could just sit and play Journey.

Had all my games had been this subscription sort, I’d have nothing.

Now I know you can still buy games - for now, anyway. But since these companies make you pay for multiplayer anyway, it’s an easy upsell for them. Just pay a bit more and you can play so many games… Just pay forever.

    I mean, something like Spotify is the same. I don’t really buy music anymore and if I stopped subscribing then I’d not have access to music… But the quality of the service is good enough and value good enough that I don’t really mind.

    Its just a balance of are you getting more value out of it than you’d get just buying games when you want to play them
