I think it devalues games in general. I like buying a game. It makes it feel substantial and valuable. With a service that offers up tons of games for a monthly fee, what's any one of them worth? Not much. They're throw away games.
I mean, I like getting a deal on a game as much as the next person, but when it gets to a kind of Netflix type service where you have everything for one low monthly fee, I like it at first, but then I lose interest, because I can watch anything anytime for almost nothing. The value of those things becomes almost nil and I go find something more rare to care about. Sounds kind of weird doesn't it, but my music listening and movie watching has kind of suffered from all-you-can-eat type buffet services. I just don't care anymore if I can have everything all the time. Nothing is special anymore.
