I am shocked no one has tried to sue Valve to because they "technically" bought "Everything" on Steam and did not get it. I bet the case could make it to courts (but never won of course).
What if you could breathe underwater?What if the moon was made out of cheese?

How about this- purchase whatever game you like and play it whenever you feel like?! That way you don’t have to rent these games to play them.Pro:
Con:
- Download and play any games in the steam store for $199/a year ($17/month)
- Discount on single purchased games with pass.
- Cloud save
hypothetically speaking i think Valve would cut themselves short given their PC dominance. they could probably ask for $299/year with better perks i cant really think of right now.
- The games in your library wont start if the subscription is canceled. Must re-subscribe or buy the game individually to play.

My friend wants to know more.But then you’ll gain access to these horny GameMaker games that plague the store. Ew.
Steam has thousands of demos, and also guaranteed instant refund if you play less than 2 hours of a game you bought.As someone who often has more fun trying new games rather than actually playing through them, that would save me a shit ton of money.
I doubt it’ll happen but it’s the dream I hope I’ll be alive to see come true. They can keep selling collector’s editions the normal way but otherwise I hope the whole entertainment industry switch over to subscriptions.
Not yet. The game industry still have a long way to go to reach the TV, movie and music industry. I hope they get there eventually though, not having to make individual purchases is obviously great for the wallet but for me it makes me try out content outside of my comfort zone as well. I’m certainly not longing for the days when I bought expensive TV Show boxes and neither do I miss paying $60 for a game I’m not really sure I’m going to like.It basically already is, haha. I think digital purchases will remain a relevant consumption method for the foreseeable future (hopefully forever). The subscriptions just provide a great value for those interested in them but can be completely ignored if someone wasn't interested.

Yeah I agree.I love the subscriptions too, but I like the idea that I can buy something outside the sub if I need it. If gaming goes full Netflix you'll have that situation like with TV/Movie streaming where you either maintain a bunch of subscriptions or miss some content. I like the idea of maintaining a subscription or two that I feel is valuable and still being able to purchase the games I want outside of that. I think the digital purchases will stay around so long as no single sub includes all available content (which they won't since the licensing/publishing is quite a bit different in comparison to music).
