“Netflix for games” has proven to be far from the ideal solution.

    I think that’s how it went down for most people.

    I remember getting free games with Gold back on the 360 and One. Eventually they became unplayable without the subscription. Kinda enshitified.

    There’s just something about your progression being tied to a subscription that makes you want to invest less in the game.
