That model is going away for almost everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to speak for Limpid, but while your opinion on ownership is perfectly valid, I don't think it's the reason it flopped. Look at how well Netflix, Spotify, even the Xbox game pass thing are doing. For most games these days, even if you "own" the physical media, we're increasingly seeing games become inoperable once the company pulls support. With a lot of games even having online components to their single player experience, gone are the days of knowing that you'll be able to stick a disk in and play it for some nostalgia in 30 years time like I can with my mega drive. The servers will be down for most games within 10. Edited January 19, 2023 by Davkaus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of people as you rightly say that prefer just paying xbox pass however you still have the option to purchase as a download or physical. Stadia didnt give that option so someone like we who likes both options wouldnt be interested in something like stadia and i suspect there are alot of people like me who would be put off by it.
