That's 240 bucks a year, or the equivalent of buying about 5 games. But those bought games would still be yours years later, whereas the "subscriped" service would terminate your games as soon as you stop paying 20$ monthly.

And you can't resell either if a game is short and has no replay value.

I'm sure UBI would love your proposal, but customers would end up paying more money for less content.
