You are not wrong, but in case of videogames, it's not that annoying to have another free app installed. In contrast to streaming where you pay another full price monthly.

My question, though: Is the annoyance in the many price tags, or the total price?

Because I imagine if Netflix or NetflixLike had gone their (and the streaming community’s) wish of making every show ever available on one universal app, then I doubt they’d still charge $10 a month for it. They’d have cornered the market for all entertainment; $30 would be an absolute minimum for the lowest ad supported tier.

Am I unique in feeling I won’t find every single show interesting, and I’m only going to subscribe to the services I know I might reasonably watch in a month? I’m trying to understand what solution people wanted, even if that’s “Everything, everywhere, all the time, for $10 a month”.
