When we move to GaaS (gaming as a service) as the norm, it will be more like purchasing multiplayer online = buying a ticket to a sporting event. If you misbehave, of course, you can get kicked out.
Fairly soon you'll need to maintain a subscription just to play.
- amatecha 4y agoOh yeah, that has literally already happened: Xbox Live Gold and PS Plus!
- deafpolygon 4y agoIt's not yet the norm. When it becomes the norm, it will replace purchasing a game at the store [this has already started to happen for PC]. We will no longer be able to play games except through platforms like Xbox Live or PS Plus. This will eventually give companies like Microsoft and Sony complete control over their platform's IP. When it happens, we'll never be able to collect these games as part of nostalgia growing up playing these games.
