A monthly subscription gives you famous games and you pay $5 monthly. It is distinguished by your personal photo. It gives you exclusive games always and special discounts on Steam to reduce the number of cracked games. It also makes collaborations with the gaming company, Steam, exclusively

GabeN doesn't want to add a subscription to Steam, at this time.

GabeN would work with MS to bring Gamepass to Steam or any other dev/pub that wants to add a subscription to Steam, if they want to. The same way they parneted with EA to bring them back to Steam along with EA Play.

How many games do you get access to per month?

Because at $5 a month, it would take a year of only playing one game to make the price of one $60 game.

EA can do it because they own all the games, so they can sell them for any price.

But Valve only sells games for the prices that developers set. Where does the rest of the money come from? And at that point, why not just buy the game directly?

Valve has commercial licenses which give you full access to the entire store (or was it for certain titles, I forget) for a large fee per 50-100 systems applied.

I was researching this when I thought of starting a "Gamer's Lounge".

The Steam Cafe system? You pay full price for the games you want to add, per computer you have at your internet cafe. There are specially marked purchase options for games that support that.

That clears things up a bit and now it even has it's own web page.
