What do you mean predicting? This is kind of reality already. There are a million subscriptions for music, TV series, games, A.I., sports, the list goes on.
because capitalism is turning into technofeudalism. major tech corporations aren't making their profits from extracted labour value anymore, they are making it through RENT by subscriptions. economists and philosophers like yanis varoufakis & slavoj zizek are already analyzing this phenomena.
this video reminds me exactly of the "DLC the game" video from 2012 that eerily foreshadowed games today lol I wonder if in another 20 years we'll need a subscription to use our shoes lol.
Hahaha what's next, a Mega64 subscription? Maybe one that gives you access to Friendimension, Movie Club, and the entire Mega64 vault for as low a price as $5/month? And quarterly mega prizes when you join the highest tier? Hahaha what is this world coming to!?
