Are streaming services that different from cable TV? You're paying for access to new content. If you want specific content to own, don't they all let you buy them? I know I was able to buy GoT discs when I wasn't willing to pay for an HBO subscription. Has that changed?

    Difference is that most games made anymore are online access dependent even if they aren’t dedicated multiplayer only games. What happens when subscriptions get so low that upkeep is unprofitable? You lose access to a game that you’ve paid a lot of money for, for no good reason as online isn’t necessary but the studios rarely patch it out at game sunset
