    I mean, no shit.

    These days we are expected to be subscribed to tons of shit, including stuff that simply doesn’t justify subscriptions. We know it’s not a benefit to us, but to the companies that dish them out.

      Not to mention the sheer amount of amazing indie games coming out lately. Why even check out this gacha and subscription games?

        This too! So many genuinely good games at genuinely good prices. This is true even on Switch, where Nintendo is known to put AAA efforts into genres otherwise filled entirely with indie games (not to mention the Nintendo tax)

        Jesus fucking Christ, why not charge a subscription for notepad.exe while you’re at it.

        The worst I’ve personally seen was a subscription for an Android launcher. No actual cloud services attached and no way to pay outright. They wanted for a subscription for an app that launches other apps.
