This has been a successful business model for mmos for decades. This is not new.
Not really, the MMO model is ppm not ppp.
The gamepass subscription already fits the MMO model.
It's quite similar. Pay for a game and then pay for game "time.". Mmos are a pre pay, this is likely billed after playing. But really just paying for time after buying the game.
Well that would explain why I've never seen an MMO streamer before. At least not since Leeroy.
