and the benefits keep dwindling like every subscription service.
Everyone at the beginning told me I was stupid for not blindly going for it, that it's worth it! You get all these games for so little!
But I've been on this ride before with Netflix and all the other ones. Sure, the beginning is grand, they have everything you want at an impossibly low rate. They have sweet trials, good content, good prices, and it goes on for so long. Then all of a sudden you see reports of the libraries shrinking, costs are creeping up, those trials shrink, limitations are placed on how you use it. That favorite show/game you played is no longer allowed because of licensing issues, or it wasn't popular enough. To keep watching the show you love you have to pay more a month.
Personally, I hope everyone who is doing it has fun, but I'm burned out on subscriptions. I like the term subscription fatigue. I'll gladly pay to own my games.
