  Subscriptions =/= Rental

    Is it really that different though?

    Lets say you get the 1 month pass, play any games you want and are part of that “service” for the duration, once it runs out you lose access to the games (unless you crack the downloaded files for them which would be like not returning the “rented” game I guess)

    Personally just feels like the same scam cable tv was and now transforming into streaming services with ads.

      The difference is I got to choose the game I rented and the duration, not some preselected list of which 95% of it I am never going to touch.
