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 wish adobe didn't have subscription.
