Even if it was considered cheap, why subscribe to a rotating library that you may or may not enjoy when you can buy your own and enjoy they at your own leisure whenever you want. I guess if you want to buy it for a month and play a specific launch title on it it makes sense - Digital renting.
I play like 3 long games and a handful of short games per year. I'm not sure how anyone except a teenager would have the time to play most of these. That's not a dig, I just truly don't understand where the time comes from.
Jesus Christ, calm down. I thought that was in one year.
Even in a year that isn't outrageous for a hobby you enjoy. Some people ride, some hike, some paint, some read, some go to the gym. I've got a friend that spends 2 hours a day in the gym somehow, and my wife reads almost 2 hours a night.
8 hours sleep, 8 hours work, 8 hours "free time". Take away 5 of those hours doing important life things and you've still got 3 hours a day to pursue your hobby. Even if you only play an hour a day you could do at least half or more of those games.
That's more expensive than free.
