Rockstar especially is going to shove it down our throats...
They don't want to ever sell another game, $60 even $100 a copy ain't enough.
They want people to pay $20 a month for each game they play, that way it's not just the whales from microtransations keeping live service games alive.
What they're missing is most people don't care about live service, a weekly rotating playlists having you do things you could have done anyways without being told to, just doesn't interest a lot of gamers.
When it does, those people tend to just play 1-2 games at a time, and eventually drop a title for a new one.
Absolutely no one is going to carry a bunch of $20 monthly subscriptions for multiple games.
To me, live service just feels like a job, and I already have one.
