The big problem is not really the monthly fee to my eyes. It's that we pay for things we don't really own. Without the servers, the game we gotta pay around 60$ is useless... I also have no control on when the servers are available or taken down (which means the games itself get useless). I should pay for the game if there's no subscriptions and they can garranty me that the servers will have no major problems or at least won't shut them down for at least X number of time (else I can get a refund). Or, I don't mind paying a subscriptions for a game that I shouldn't have to pay (like when you rent a movie).
To my eyes those solutions makes more sense. They are not ideal and there's probably something else that could works better for both side. I feel sometimes like we have no protection for what we pay for.
