I would pay for a retro gaming subscription that would give me access to over 1,000 games for $20 a month. Sega Genesis, Atari, Nintendo, Neo-Geo and so much more.
Gladly? None.

I wouldn’t pay for anything that should be one time payment and own forever. That include games.
a total removal of ads in my life. like, whatever marketers think I’m worth I’ll just pay them directly to GTFO.
Google used to have something like this where you ‘paid as you went’ by outbidding other advertisers for ad slots on websites. Only worked for google ads, though, and being a google product it was killed eventually…
I agree. I wear glasses anyway and I would love a subscription that filtered out digital ads, billboards, or any other kind of ad
I know many sports games a lot of the adverts are imposed digitally before broadcast. I don’t watch a lot of sports, but I would certainly enjoy watching more if there were an option to disable the added adverts.
You don’t have to pay 🙂
VPN then everything else is free…
the only “subscription” I pay for is a VPN
Seeebox and VPN.
I’d say I go to see a movie in an actual movie theater once a year, but the truth is I probably go half as often as that.
It isn’t that I am not interested in movies, I just don’t see the value. I am supposed to pay for a ticket, concessions, and whatever goes into travel to the theater to watch a movie with a bunch of (probably annoying) strangers in a fairly gross environment?
My guess is my annual box office contribution is approximately 0.5x the current ticket price.
If, however, there was a $20/month subscription service which would let me watch new releases at home, I would subscribe.
Even if it was relegated to expensive hardware, like an Apple Vision Pro, I would very likely buy the device and sign up for the subscription.
$240/year would be a hell of a lot more revenue than my current $5.50/year—regardless of whether or not it would be exclusive to certain hardware or platforms.
Honestly, my current TV and sound system may not be as impressive as a theater, but they are good and I’d take that experience over the modified bus depot experience of a public movie theater.
You speak some truth here. I’ve been meaning hard to try and go out to movie theaters. I just keep ending up not going. Like, I know I’m missing out on the experience of seeing things on a gigantic screen at the comfort of a chair. I know I’m missing out on the latest and greatest. But it’s the expensive concessions and the experience of hearing many sounds coming from people as the movie itself tries drowning out that waters it down for me. Not to mention having to travel to the theater and pay the rising ticket prices just for the negatives.
don’t get consession, just bring a water and call it good
then tickets are then $10-15, at least in that USA, that’s easily justifiable to me once a month or so
Man, I would never get a subscription for the Apple Vision / HP Reverb G2
Tbh, even if Valve offered one I don’t think I would… I’m sure it would be the most fair subscription service out there, but I just don’t think I could get on board.
An odd and very specific, but sims 4. Only if it included any and all content as it’s released with no additional fees/purchases.
Last I looked (and ignoring sales, just MSRP) is several hundred dollars.
Then I remember it’s owned by EA…
As of 2023 it’s over 1000 USD.

TLDR: Overall total: $1064,45 USD/£974.35 GBP.
Time travel.
I know somebody who knows someone who has a private movie (TV, etc) server and had the access for free up to this year… electric prices being what they are he finally had to start charging 10$ a month.
I’ve used it for 4 years so in 4 more years the total charge is 5$ a month.
I will gladly pay for a service like this that’s private & only done as a “hobby” rather than give my minutes to a corporation.
I wouldn’t.
Grocery shopping but not forgetting half my order, same things every week
