Games as a service is only good for one thing: Strips you of

your money. Facetious, I know, but those corporate heads only see $$$ with these, at least until it fails.

GAS, specifically streaming, which I am looking forward to, can be quite hardware independent. Funny in a way I ended up nintendo precisely because I wanted to ' own ' games. I 'own' all my ds/3ds games, they are there still working, still owned, same with wii games, same with * most* switch games. Yes the switch gets an * , games in that console can be cartrige, download, or even fake cartrige, which is really a download, same as its done ps5, ps4 , ps3? idk, same microsoft.
I dropped pc gaming way back then unquestionably because ownership was taken away ( via server/ serial activation), which meant I lost most of my games I had accumulated late 90s, early 2000s ( all with proper serial numbers, I confess I did not understand the concept of activation - of course they worked when new- didnt know it was a server/ remote thing, I thought it was a cd/ local thing) I tought i ' owned ' those games, same as one would a game cartrige, provided a proper os, it should work I thought, but all i had was a much of useless cd roms. I moved to ps3, to wii ( ds I had for handheld) Meanwhile I watched everyone and their dog make Gabe Newell a multibillionare while not owing any games, everyone ever so happy, so which ownership?
You selling those steam games lately? Can you even sell your account?
I own my 3ds games a hell of a lot more than you ever will any game at Steam.
Hell, I think some have gone up in price.

If nintendo wants to port every single game every single time they make new hardware, thats good on them. I dont have to buy it, I have never purchased what I already own, theres no point for me.
Off memory, miitopia was made for 3ds, then later , ported to the switch, yay! Got it for the switch, never did for the 3ds, If I did, why would I buy it again on the switch? No one makes you buy nintendo.. I mean if you are a collector of all things nintendo, then yeah you would buy, and good on you , whatever.
Plenty of non intendo games have ' editions' releases (they did in the past for sure, not paying attention now) and then you add collections, and bundles and so on, sucks for you if you got the first version, now you can have the dlc, or re buy the bundle or the platimum edition or whatever; well just like nintendo, no one makes you buy it. Yes i know theres some studio that release big updates with new features, but looking at the news its almost like a bribe, for initially releasing a buggy incomplete alpha software.
Oh yeah, i am looking forward for GAS/ streaming, to just cut off hardware purchase. For now, I will keep looking, that will be my ' second' console most likely, no rush for me. But yeah, I am looking forward a netflix of games, and then a bunch of lesser netflixes to checkout, maybe hop on and off here and there.

Thing that would make me stop buying consoles is the removal of physical media support, backwards compatability is great but not if you can't play the games you already own due to no disc player in the console.
