I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn't sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.
Luckily my library's close by and I can print there remotely.
Yes, all the games that don't cost any money, the ones you don't have to purchase, can be played online for free on an Xbox or a PlayStation or Nintendo. The rest of the games in existence, the ones you have to buy, will not let you play online without a sub.
Calling all the games that cost money "a small fraction" is wild cope.
