Not games but music. One of the things Spotify and Apple Music bring to the table is search and cataloging. It's less of an issue for video games where you might be seriously interested in 20 titles, but for songs, someone else organizing it for you is a huge value-add.

Sadly, due to licensing agreements, nothing can beat the breadth, depth, and curation of the classic not-legit sites that were shut down. I pay for Spotify, but several albums I have on e.g. CD are not available there, and you can't put local music into a Spotify playlist or vice versa.
No service will ever compare to how awesome Oink’s Pink Palace was. It just worked and it had everything. No blackouts, no licensing windows, no format issues. Just all music.
You can put local music into a Spotify playlist.

I should have clarified that I mean music that is stored on my phone while I'm not at home. Also, the default Spotify player in Ubuntu is in a SNAP container that can't access my music folder and won't follow symlinks from the SNAP's designated music folder to other folders.
