Gaming

First I've heard of that term, and after looking it up, I like the term Game-as-a-Service way better.

Seems like a perpetual fee if you want to keep playing. I guess I'm missing something, but I think I'd rather pay a monthly fee of I dunno $10/month to play, if there is a $0 cost to install the game.

So to be clear, none of this $60 game purchase and a $10/month subscription, it's one or the other. For most games that are decent, I get into binge playing and beat the game within a month anyway and then never play it again. I win in this scenario, since I'm not coughing up ton of cash.

For exceptional games, I generally reinstall maybe 1-2 times a year and do another playthrough, which means after 3-6 years then I'm in the hole. The other huge case where I'd lose out: Playing more than one game in a given month. I typically have 2-3 games installed at a time to mix things up in a given month, which would mean being out in the hole way quicker. There's also the being a "patient gamer" and buying shit on extreme sale, which I'd be fucked by GaaS too.

So I suppose I'd rather than buy my games outright, and say fuck that rent bullshit.
