Sure, and not streaming services only. People is subscribed to too much stuff.
I have heard there are agencies out there people is hiring to identify unused subscriptions so people can remove them. How crazy is that?
I have been leary of streaming. There are a lot of shows on some of them that sound interesting but needing umpteen subscriptions just to watch them all would cost me a lot more than cable currently does.
They've got to make up for all of those subscribers who cancelled
their service, somehow...

That, too. "I am going to cancel my Disney+ because ABC cancelled
Kimmel!!! (...and not because I am also not using it.)."

They advertise those services often on US TV and on social media.
I think one could do that for oneself for free just by looking
closely at your credit card bills and/or bank statements each month.
OTOH, with so many people going paperless, I wonder how many of
them actually keep track of what charges are on the bills and
statements each month.
Game subscriptions are situational, but they are going down the drain
too. You could justify them somehow when you got to pay under 30 bucks
per month and then hurry up and beat some game whose release price is
above that. The issue is people is not doing that, people is trying to
make the most out of the subscriptions and try to experience as many
games as possible per month, which means they play a short while every
game before they jump to the next. Compared to that, you can buy a full indie game such as BallisticNG and focus on it until you have 100%
completed it, and by the time you are done with it, you will have spent
20 bucks for many months of fun, deep gameplay.

Soooo, you're siding with the multi-billion dollar company for raising their rates because of their own actions?
Did you not just say recently that they were offering deals to get customers back? Are you backtracking? We as subscribers are allowing
this by continuing to subscribe to their services WHILE they up our
rates every year.

I don't do subscriptions, but I feel the same way using Steam for most of my games. While you're buying the game, you can only actually play it on Steam. If you ever were to decide to leave Steam, there goes all of your games.
called MHZ Choice, and get Peacock and HBO through my phone provider.
We donate to PBS and get their on demand service as a perk.
We got rid of Disney+, Acorn, Britbox and MHZ CHoice are all similar,
I'm going to start rotating one of those around, and Netflix is about
to go. There hasn't been a lot that's excited me on there recently.
What do you mean by "play it on Steam"? While you might need the Steam softwarwe to install it, anything I've bought on Steam has downloaded
and installed on my PC and runs locally.
Years ago, Steam had a way to let you make backups of your games so you could more easily re-install them later. One of the options would have
it make CD-R or DVD-R images so you could burn your backups to optical discs, though I imagine most people probably aren't doing that anymore..
It looks like Steam still has a way to create a backup of a game though.
