Publishers' gaming service

I think if these companies find a way to enhance our gaming experience or accessabiltiy to games i am fully behind it - though if they all start wanting to charge for a different Registration and we find ourselves putting our hands in the wallet for Gamepass,
then there Launcher programs etc, that will upset a lot of gamers.

It'd be unfortunate if we had to subscribe to different services in order to play certain games

It is an interesting concept but personally I don't want multiple subscriptions. I'd like to have one subscription that gives me access to many games across all publishers.

Sadly it'll probably end up with the abomination we have with video streaming services. They're used to be one of two, now every studio has their own and removed their content from other platforms so you need to pay a lot for many subscriptions to get access
to varied content.

I know I'm going against the tide here, but I honestly hope the industry doesn't fully shift to a games as service model. I like owning my games. I don't want to have to pay a subscription fee every month to access the content that I like. I'd prefer to
buy what I like and have that forever as opposed to paying a monthly fee for one-two games I like and a bunch of other games that don't really interest me.

I know game pass has been awesome, and it's a way to discover new games - which I like. But it's very much a Netflix model and has games from multiple publishers. If each individual publisher moves in this direction, it will get way too expensive to play
all the games I want to play. I'd have to be shelling out multiple subscriptions fees every month.

That said, I'm not sure physical discs will ever completely go the way of the dodo. Most people said that digital and streaming would kill DVD/Blue Ray/4K but those are still around and people still buy them. Even Netflix offers some of its shows (like Stranger
Things) on blue ray. If anything, games may eventually go entirely digital, but I still think you'll have the ability to buy them to own. I don't think publishers will want to lose out on the customers who may be interested in one game/franchise by them, but
not everything else they offer.

Just my two cents.

I prefer to purchase the games on Xbox, because now every publisher wants to have their own store.

So imagine to have 8 accounts to all your games, so you can play.

Regards!
