I want freedom. Offer both so everyone can pick the model that best matches their usage pattern. A GamePass+GeForceNow combo is nice if you want to play a diverse library of games without having to install terrabytes of game data. Also if you only want to play stuff a short while (hello ADHD), a subscription might be better than full price.
But again: freedom. I don't want to be forced into subscriptions but neither would I want someone to forbid me from subscribing.
Totally agree. However, I think the word you're describing is choice rather than freedom. You're always free to purchase what you want, nobody forcing you. It's just good to have choices.
Not sure what happened but it looks like your comment got tripled posted.
He wanted to emphasize that he likes freedom.
Haha, that made me exhale faster than usual.
(I deleted the duplicates now... and I'll be more careful with retry behaviors.)
Damn. More than 3. The instance I posted from has some problems and my mobile client retried over and over. Apparently the HTTP status code didn't match the result.
Once the other instance is responsive again, I'll clean up. I killed the mobile app now.
