      Instead of buying a license for a game for $70 you subscribe to a rental service that gives you access to 500 games for $10/month.

      Or, instead of buying a $500 console or a $800 PC you just buy a $60 controller and you stream those games running on “the cloud” (=someone else’s console) for $15/month

      Problem is that the service is provided by Microsoft at a loss and when they’ll get enough critical mass, they’ll enshittify it.

      The economic proposition is good, but I think it’s just to teach gamers that “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy”
