Subject: RE: Microsoft buys Zenimax?

While it initially sounds attractive to go to a subscription based model for games, it's ultimately a bad deal for the consumer as it results in overall lower quality of everything involved.
Look at Netflix. I have never seen a Netflix "original" worth watching. Their catalog is so shit they had to remove user ratings completely from their system. This is what things eventually will move to on subscription models as there are no actual sales numbers to drive the quality of anything, just usage numbers. A subscription model is really the worst possible thing that could happen to gaming.
