The rise of free to play came close to killing off subscriptions for MMOs but major publishers have found a new way to bring the subscription model back into gaming. EA, Microsoft, Sony and soon, Ubisoft, all have Netflix-style subscription services, granting access to a library of games for a fee. Ubisoft announced uPlay Plus back at E3 but now, we have more details on its launch, including the games library.
Ubisoft’s service will be priced similarly to Origin Access Premier, coming in at $15/€15 per month, although that money will grant you access to ‘deluxe editions’ of games, which include all of the DLC. New games will be added to the library one day-one too, so it is cheaper than buying a brand new game at launch, although if you stay subscribed you will end up paying more in the long run, which is all part of the business model.
 
In my opinion if the subscription pricing stays low then this could work out well for the gaming publishers and gamers alike.

It's not bad but I would rather own the games. A lot of these services have a few modern games and then a bunch of older games in the series that you probably could pick up for close to what you would pay in the monthly subscription fee. The other fear I have is that I would play something take a break from it to play a new game on launch and then find the game I was playing is no longer offered.

+1.  My thoughts about this exactly...

Eh, I find more value in something like spending $12 on Humble Bundle monthly subscription. I'm not leasing those games at least.
