None of us collect games, nor do any of us have a desire to, so this game-specific thing is very subjective.
It is for sure. I'm a collector by nature. To me, video games are like literature and I don't like borrowed literature. I always want it to be something that I own so that I always have guaranteed access to it again or the ability to share with someone. That's very much a "me" thing. So it causes subscription services to be of far less interest to me. I hate the "let's see what's available this month" feeling. I like to know that I own something and can choose to play it whenever, forever.
It's a bit like Netflix perhaps. You use that I thought? That is worth it to many people who don't need to permanently own everything they want to watch.
It is. However there are a few factors that push me to Netflix...
- I only really watch Netflix' own content which is permanent (for the most part.)
- There's no alternative, Netflix content can't be purchased.
- While I used to collect them, I feel that things like movies and TV shows are less "important" than video games and my inability to maintain access to them bothers me a lot less.
That said, I still maintain a very, very large library of media that I own.
