It is interesting. I feel that gaming has changed over the years, and gamers have definitely moved into more of a rental mindset. I know I have. Between my backlog and the random monthly games they add, I don't need to purchase a new games. Shoot, I haven't bought a new game in a long time.

I pay $160 a year for PS+ Premium. If you break that down, thats two brand new games. The PS+ subscription allows me to play way more games than that throughout the year.

That's just PS. My son has an Xbox and I share the subscription. I can stream Xbox games on my Firestick on a Sony TV without the system. In the past few days I've played Lost in Random, Doom Dark Ages and Revenge of the Savage Planet. That's almost $150 in those 3 games. That's also a prime example of how Xbox kicks the dog crap out of PS. They actually give you new games with their subscription.

When you do the math the subscription service is the way to go. If the game leaves before you finish it you always have the option to purchase it.
