And if you'll allow me to editorialize, there's a popular enough conspiracy theory that these platforms want to funnel you into cloud gaming for constant subscription revenue. I think the Why We're Making These Changes section is exactly why these services will never be able to deliver that service at a price people are willing to pay. It's expensive to provide this service, and they're making sure they don't lose any money on it by charging at least what it costs to provide.

Divide 300 minutes (that's 5 hours) by 30 days, to see how many minutes you can play every day: 10 minutes. If we have 15 hours per month, that's 30 minutes playtime every day.

I miss the old days where I just popped in the disk, disc or cart in and start playing without internet reliance.
