Subscription-based MMO are kinda renting a virtual place when you think about it. Although creating a big game like this at least requires labor, unlike mindless speculation on a virtual world someone else made
I mean, you need money to pay for hosting and maintenance, specially if it is a big game with millions of people, I agree that games as a service are a fucking big of an issue (AccursedFarms has an hour and a half long video which even has some legal background on it) but it is different than this.
