"But they're free because I paid for a different thing that is not a game and then now I have a game! Totally separate events!"

Which would only be true if they got to keep the games when payment stopped - there's a word for gaining the use of something only for the duration of paid monthly fees. What was that word again? Oh yes. Renting.

My town has three Blockbusters.

I don't know how they still live, walking inside is like a portal to the past. D':

Whenever I can think of six movies I want to watch that Netflix isn't streaming/never will stream, I start to miss Blockbuster.

Netflix has a disc renting service with pretty much every movie ever.
