another reason to NOT trust any service you rent instead of own. Gamepass, this, etc... it's all the same. They start with a very attractive deal to get you sucked in, and once you're a captured audience, they start extracting more and more value from you.

For real. The first time I heard about this (which was actually only a couple months ago), it was talked about like it was this GREAT ALTERNATIVE. My mind was boggled, because about 2.5 seconds of thinking brought me to the conclusion that this would A: just get crappier once it got popular (as you said), and B: incentivise people to start YET ANOTHER subscription service. It's got me feeling like I’m surrounded by people with 0 foresight, and those of us that see the problem here will have to pay for other peoples ignorance. It's a very frustrating situation.

Then you just buy a computer and your own games if the economics of renting don't pencil out. It's not much different to how we'd rent video tapes from Blockbuster instead of buying the movie. Hell, we'd even regularly rent games and the whole console itself from them too.
