Between this and the Xbox game pass thing nobody is ever going to own games anymore!

I've read a bunch of takes on this lately.

Here's mine:

I don't actually give a shit. Except in very rare instances, I don't care all that much about replaying games. Half the games I do actually own could disappear forever tomorrow, and it wouldn't matter a bit. Games are increasingly online and connected to such a degree that "owning" them makes less and less sense anyway. What's a Destiny 1 disc get you at this point? Games are more and more becoming a time and place thing.

There are always exceptions to that (The Witcher 3, Horizon, God of War, The Last of Us, etc).

I don't care about ownership all that much. However, I do worry what it does to an industry that's already full of dogshit labor practices. What happens to developers when games become ever more disposable because they're all available for a $10 a month subscription?
