I'm getting to the stage where there are very few games I really want to invest the time and energy in playing. I can go long stretches without anything really catching my interest. I've been gaming for a couple decades, and most games give me a "been-there, done-that" feeling, and I'd rather spend my time elsewhere. I've got plenty of other, better things to do with my time than waste it on games that don't really grab me. A game has to be pretty special to make me want to spend time and energy on it. So I'm pretty selective with my gaming.
Some people have long lists of games they want to play and big backlogs. I can see how subscribing to GP or PS Now for someone like that would be a bargain. That's fine for them, but that would be a losing situation for me. I'd end up playing games I'm not really drawn to, just because I've paid for the subscription, so I might as well use it, and the games are there for the taking. It's like having a box of donuts sitting on your table every day.
It's not about the money for me. I've got more than enough money. It's about the time and energy spent on gaming. Getting a gaming subscription would result in me wasting time and energy on games that don't really interest me. That's a losing proposition. Having a sub would mean I'd end up wasting my time/energy on stuff that doesn't really engage me or add to my life in any way. That's a net negative in my book, regardless of any monetary savings.
Anyhow, that's a long way of saying that I'm happy to pay $60 for Outer Worlds. It's one of the few games this year that I'm genuinely interested in playing.
