Hurray, just charge a subscription and you’re exempt! Make micro transactions a practical necessity and you’re exempt!

This is going to make the industry so much better!!!!

/s these exceptions are going to create a whole cancer on the games industry.

This argument was discussed already: subscription had, and has, it's own market in which is a finite resource of customers willing to endlessly pay.

The problem was for products that were "surprise subscription" : a customer buying Crew1 on the shelves of the single player category... then, after some random number of month discover it was, indeed, a "surprise subscription" which ended whenever Ubisoft felt like to do so.

Yea. There should be no exceptions. Subscription, MTX and F2P games are the biggest offenders and the type of games that started this movement in the first place.
