Love app stores pay to play and subscription models? Coming soon to every platform as fast as they can shove it down your throat.

You can't say that and keep it off the only subscription model that is making any waves. Honestly, if you want subscription options to take off, you need to ride the gamepass wave until it subsides and then build up from their when people are lost with all their games gone or on a subscription that is way too expensive.

I like subscriptions, skins, and microtransactions. I wish they'd stop with all the skill based stuff though
