I never understood why someone would stay subscribed to it. Like just get it when there's something you want from it that month and then cancel.

Annual prices are slightly cheaper, but they've been gradually squeezing that too. You can of course pause the months you don't want, but it's a somewhat obtuse process.

The 20% discount on purchases is very nice, though the monthly offerings are extremely hit-or-miss. I’m not sure I’ll stay subscribed at this price, though. The value of the subscription is simply too unpredictable.

The 20% discount is completely theoretical. Very few games, if any, were discountable that low

I use it about once every two months. Most recently, Clair Obscur.

The maximum discount you get is dependent on how long you’ve been a subscriber. 20% requires one year or longer of membership.

Yep, and applicable games, of which are near-none
