    Fuck them for licencing games behind a monthly subscription. I want to buy Into the Breach, not get a video subscription I won’t use to be able to play it.

      I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. It’s just an extra that you have for “free”, not a dedicated gaming subscription. I also live in Europe and my Netflix is cheap, so I will have the subscription by default (cause a lot of people in my family watch it), which means I get to try the games for free. You can always just go buy them if you want, from the store.

        No, you seeing it wrong.

        The subscription is the ONLY way you can get that game, making the whole subscription a necessity if you only want to game that one game.

        Like with YouTube, where you have to pay YouTube music as well, even if you have apple music payed by your daddy already

        Even greedy Amazon is providing games that don’t require a constant subscription to play even after you cancel Prime.

          Hmm, didn’t know that one was exclusive to Netflix. It’s not a universal thing or a rule, cause San Andreas Definitive Edition, for example, is available to purchase for $20. Probably depends on what the game publisher agreed to.

      Yeah I was playing it while I cancelled my sub over the account sharing restriction. The only thing I missed, really.
