The article mostly talks about sports games like NBA 2k, FIFA and all the others. For them, it probably works because their fans buy the new yearly title no matter what, $10 more or less. Which is very surprising since these "new versions" of these types of games mostly don't contain any new or very few new contents. The Biggest selling point to these games are that their fans are also fans of the sports that they are about. Would make sense to move these games to a subscription based system but its probably more profitable to just keep releasing "new" games.
