To be honest, I don’t think the indie gaming scene will ever fully transition to his model even in the worst case scenario.

The market is basically large enough that it can support a niche being independent in terms of channel fulfilment and avoidance of console style exclusivety.

Not to mention video games are arguably much more competitive than movies or streaming shows. Often people look to a specific production with shows and movies, with games, new franchises can often build upon and expand upon existing gameplay models.

Not that I think the subscription model is good, but it is clear that there is a segment of the market that prefers this delivery approach.
