Subscription services are not worth it, period. Phone and internet bills are all you need to get everything you want at the best possible qualities in the best possible formats. Subscription services are only convenient for the lazy who don’t know how to use the internet.
I hate it when mobile apps are advertised as free only to reveal that you need a subscription to use them. Not everything needs to be subscription based. I miss actually owning software.
There’s plenty of games you can just buy and not pay a subscription to. Hell, any game with a subscription is usually impossible to pirate, due to being server based.
Movies and TV shows almost invariably do require a subscription these days, though, unless you take to the seven seas.
Game-wise, that’s fair. I mean things like Humble Monthly, Netflix, PlayStation Now, and Game Pass are getting bigger and bigger. Most of the time those services save people a lot of money over buying every game they will play once and put down. Either way, I highly recommend buying games outright. That said, I don’t see myself buying movies or TV shows outright like I do games.
I agree 100%. Subscription services have ruined plenty of good software, among other things. I don’t know how people can stand the feeling of not owning anything, just basically renting them and being at the mercy of the corporation that owns them.
Though this may be true for movies and shows, for games there’s basically only one Denuvo cracker in the scene now, which means releases are slow and by (paid) request.
