I'll rather pay once that 10 bucks a month for the next 36 months. I also like still having the game in 15 years, after the servers have been shut down, and when i wouldnt pay a monthly fee

Amd then theyre stuck with a game they bought full price to play once for shits n giggles. Game passes are great for getting to try out games you might not play otherwise or would only want to play once.

Steam's approach is best. Buy the game at any price, frequently discounted, return any time without questions if you played less than 2h and two weeks of ownership. I think that's incredibly fair. Plus you get to keep your games should Steam ever go under.
