Don’t worry we won’t have have to worry about subs being dominant. Oh wait you meant subscriptions

Ok but jokes aside in some cases a subscription is necessary. Probably a bad example but Netflix needs to operate servers that I can get behind if it’s reasonably priced

However games and services that offer a subscription that don’t need it, unless I REALLY like it, I think it’s plain bad

And frankly I’m kind of a hypocrite here paying for planetsides “premium” service even though they could keep the lights on without it

I kinda went off on a rant but even it only makes 10% (which to me is definitely a big number but seems smaller than it is) of sales it kind of sends a message that this a way to extract more money from people like me that go “hmm well I like the game I guess I’ll pay $120 or more a year for this yes this a sane financial decision”

TLDR: subscription bad but I’m personally using one :(
