Let’s be fair: subscriptions are everywhere. Netflix, arthouse , MUBI, Deezer, Spotify. But also cars, bikes, the heat pump -anything that needs maintenance has a regular reoccurring maintenance fee, which can be seen as a subscription, to keep the thing running. Apps need updates (maintenance) too, to keep them running and secure. One reason for the criticism against subscriptions is that people lose sight of all the things that they are subscribed to, as an individual you need stringent subscription control.
According to your logic, we should all be paying subscription fees for all video games since there are often patches and dlcs added to them in the future. This is deranged.
