Gaming is increasingly becoming a subscription model: live-service games, Game Pass, Battle Passes, digital licenses, and servers that are simply shut down at some point. In the past, you bought and owned a game. Today, you often only buy permission to use it—as long as the publishers, platforms, and online services cooperate. From HP printers to Photoshop to The Crew, Concord, and Stop Killing Games, the same pattern emerges: a one-time payment is no longer enough for companies. Everything is supposed to generate monthly revenue. But what happens when we no longer truly own digital games, software, and even devices? A sarcastic look at Games as a Service, subscription scams, and the question: Are we still buying games—or are we just renting our hobby? Hit or Shit delivers German-language gaming video essays, analyses, and documentaries every week, covering everything that's really happening in the gaming world. We cover current games and video games, but more importantly, we delve into the bigger questions behind them: Why do some AAA games fail? Why do indie games suddenly explode in popularity? Why do modern games often feel the same? Why do remakes, Steam hype, live-service games, MMOs, esports, hardware trends, and gaming controversies work the way they do? We examine the gaming industry, game design, monetization, publisher decisions, creator culture, reviews, technology, psychology, internet culture, and the mechanics behind hype, success, and failure. In short: Gaming is the starting point—but the real question is almost always bigger. If you have a topic you'd like us to take a closer look at, write it in the comments. We read along and regularly address your suggestions. ________________________ Discord:   / discord   Twitch:   / stephantschany   Patreon:   / hitodershit   Our Gamer Law Book: https://amzn.to/43ntP1A ________________________ Powered by: https://decamp.at/ ________________________ Our Subreddit:   / hitodershit   ________________________
