I hope Netflix can repeat their success from their movie streaming service by growing, supporting and maybe buying some indie devs. There is certainly a space between the $10-15 games and the $60+ games that has been explored in multiple ways but that has never really taken off. Maybe a subscription service can establish that space.

It already exists in the form of gamepass. Owning an xbox and a gamepass subscription is a great experience. I was never into consoles even if I bought a few over the past couple of decades but having to pay good money for a game I'll play once didn't sit well and they ended up eating dust until eventually getting rid of them. Few months ago bought a an xbox series x and a gamepass subscription and I probably finished more titles than I had in the past 20 years. Subscription model for gaming works unless you need to have day one release titles.
