Most games aren’t fully baked at release anymore. You’re not getting the full experience unless you play it down the line, sometimes years after release.
On top of that, you have to play games on someone else’s time, that is, their license agreement.
If I run out of steam in the middle of persona 3 reloaded, and need to take a break before I revisit it, I don’t want to have to buy it on the subscription platform again to recover my save, or have to keep the foresight that I might not beat it before it disappears.
It’s games. It’s a distraction, a joy. I shouldn’t have to manage anything else or have to pay anything I don’t want to.
Fortunately there are plenty of excellent indie titles which stay true to the original spirit of gaming. I recently got around to finally playing Outer Wilds, and can’t possibly recommend it strongly enough. Just don’t read/watch anything about it if you’re already planning to play. It’s best experienced completely blind, and has zero replayability for that reason.
