I subbed to PS+ when PS5 came out because consoles make you pay to play games like Demon Souls online. Other than that, it’s a complete ripoff. Once Sony really started to embrace PC, I ended my subscription.

I also subbed to GamePass for quite a while once it hit PC. It was a no-brainer and a great value… but between the rising prices, the modding difficulties, and the dumpster fire that is Windows 11… I’ve dropped that, too.

I don’t do Nintendo, but the one game “subscription” I do still maintain is Humble Choice. It’s a bit of a gamble since you never know what you’ll get, but the worst-case scenario is that meaty 20% discount on other purchases.
