  Yeah, if they made it like $10 per month and you could only rent 1 at a time that would be great. I would love a digital rental service to try out games.

    I love that you’d be willing to pay $10/month to try out a game when demos (which I think should be mandatory) are free.

    I remember being a kid on PS3 and playing the Just Cause 2 30min demo TO DEATH until I finally got my parents to cave and buy it for like £30 haha. Most recent example of a demo that converted me to a sale was FF7 Remake and I think Selaco would have me buying but I don’t buy early access games out of principle so I’m waiting on that one.

      I grew up with blockbuster, there were many games I liked playing for a couple days and then I would be done with them. I don’t want a demo, I want to play short games or others for a bit and then get something new without paying for each game.
