    I subbed to PS+ when PS5 came out because consoles make you pay to play games like Demon Souls online. Other than that, it’s a complete ripoff. Once Sony really started to embrace PC, I ended my subscription.

    I also subbed to GamePass for quite a while once it hit PC. It was a no-brainer and a great value… but between the rising prices, the modding difficulties, and the dumpster fire that is Windows 11… I’ve dropped that, too.

    I don’t do Nintendo, but the one game “subscription” I do still maintain is Humble Choice. It’s a bit of a gamble since you never know what you’ll get, but the worst-case scenario is that meaty 20% discount on other purchases.

    I have had a Nintendo one for the last few years, mostly for the online multiplayer. Split between myself and 7 friends, it has been affordable for us. I cancelled it earlier this year as the Switch is past its hype period and we’re all playing less these days.

    Switch online, cause I’m to lazy/not technically inclined/to poor/not committed enough to pirate/emulate the games to save 60 bucks a year, also I’m not a dev so if I’m not paying someone to make a game and I’m not making the game myself then there’s no game being made thus no game to play, then I’m just one sad gameless guy lol

      I’m confused, do you think you need the sub to play Switch games? Not paying the sub doesn’t mean you have to pirate or emulate.

    PS Plus, cause I own like 3 PS games otherwise, Nintendo because I keep forgetting to cancel it, and I’ve never had an X-box, on account of the steam library.
