Not spicy, more „casual gamer take“ since ubisoft games are rather unspectacular and forgettable.

Before netflix you could lend games in a store and bring them back after playing through/testing them.

The concept isnt really a problem neither is your personal opinion. Its just that a lot of peeps (like myself) are more invested in a few titles ans play them over and over. (Minecraft, Factorio. Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program, Rim World for example in my case).

Its new, shallow titles against „classics“ so to speak. Like buying shoes ever week that hold a month and ending up with a full wardrobe instead of two pairs that do it for 2 decades.

Paying 1000+ annually on games sounds like you might wanna ask yourself why you do it and what you‘re trying to accomplish btw. Thats a nice house downpaent over 10-15 yrs going down the drain.

In any case, good luck.
