They also have to compete with services like Microsoft’s GamePass, which offers tons of games for one monthly subscription fee. So unless they’re gonna offer their entire library of games for a comparable price (or less, since they probably have fewer games total), they’re gonna be in for a really rude awakening.
With games I would take into account the average playthrough as I don’t buy a game a month. You can then compute the average price per hour played and prize the subscription service according to that amount.
Also digital games for $70 is a scam, they should be cheaper than physical games. Sucks having gamers getting comfortable with not owning their games.
My initial guess would be around $70/month based on new game prices but that could be too high if we compare with streaming prices:

If we take those averages it could be somewhere between $10/month (average for sports streams) or $50/month (average for live streams).
Could be something for Twitch streamers, but they sometimes get send free copies to review so even then its not a 100% match.
I really hope this flops fast.
