Eh? Football clubs are not a service. A person decides to support a football team from an early age and than stick with that team forever, regardless how the team performs.
In England and most of the world, supporting a football club is a lifelong, even more so than marriage. Anyone who decides to change clubs in adulthood is committing heresy!
Anyway, on topic. Yes, Microsoft is killing it with GP at the moment. However, subscription services are not for everyone. Some people only play a few games a year, so a sub isn't right fot them. Others prefer to buy their games and build collections.
Each to their own.
