I can pay a subscription for Netflix-style block access, or I can buy individual games I want. I don’t really understand this comment.

It’s 2024 and you can’t buy any individual movie or TV show you want, you have to buy access to literal Netflix or others as a subscription. Op is saying games are heading towards that.

You can buy individual films and TV programmes though, it’s just that most people want them now rather than in a day or two when the DVD arrives in the post

you can buy some individual films and tv programs, you can not buy many, if not the majority of modern film/tv shows.

For single player games, or multiplayer games where there’s not a bigger progression system, yes, I 100% agree.
But sometimes this is necessary, like with an MMO. You’re paying for access to unlimited server time for that period (typically month or year).
