Better than the alternative IMO: Buying to own a bunch of games on Steam every time they go on sale and never even bother to play them because you have a huge backlog of games to work through.

but nobody is forcing you to buy, and what you have bought will not cost anything to maintain your ability to play them (other than a PC).

And eventually you would finish the backlog, and then you can buy more to fill it again! With subscription, you are paying even if you don't got time to play!
