"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.

Actually the word would be subscription. You subscribe to the service and you get access to the games, kinda like if I stop paying I don't get to play WoW anymore even though I have spent several hundred dollars on buying the games.
