>Major concern I have is that every game will "become a subscription service".

we'll see the first netflix-like delivery of games take off in popularity. I think one of playstation's offerings works like this and either EA or ubisoft has this too. It never would result in 'price to play per hour'. This isn't <1995

Alternatively, it on steam it could operate the way a lot of valve's dlc already operates. You end up with a gun in CS:GO and you can transfer it to whomever. The only issue is, the source of that DLC is from 'lootboxes'.

Xbox Gamepass is already exactly this. EA does offer something similar too, yes.
