![Veteran Videogame Analyst: Subscription growth has flattened [in video games]](https://files.catbox.moe/k1njrt.png){kind=link}

For single player games, or multiplayer games where there’s not a bigger progression system, yes, I 100% agree.
But sometimes this is necessary, like with an MMO. You’re paying for access to unlimited server time for that period (typically month or year).
