Remember the VR hype? It's most certainly the same marketing experts saying game subscription services are going to be a big thing one day. I see it this way. PlayStation to XBox, is like Apple to Android. On one side you pay for a product, on the other side you are the product. Sony runs the infrastructure, and provides bandwidth. You get two games for free every month (if you haven't bought them already) and you won't get into a Netflix situation where, when you have time to pick up a game it suddenly isn't available any more as part of the subscription. This all might take a generation of kids who grow up with subscription services to ve successful, until they eventually find out it hasn't always veen this eay and then post on HN hoe grrat it would be to own your stuff again.
