Does that mean they can't delete the games you download and install? If not, the "value" they provide can be restricted at any time.

Seems like they acquired a lucrative cholepoint to milk. Fuck them. Subscription-based ownership is not ownership or "value".

Considering the price you pay compared to even a single full priced game, it's pretty damn consumer-friendly. It's especially valuable for full price games that you're going to play through once and never touch again, not so much for games you'll want to keep returning to.
