Psplus, probably will only renew if there is another 12+3 for 20$ (Asia PSN) offering again this year.
As of right now, none, used to have PS Plus and Gamepass, but they're not worth it to me.

Live, Gamepass, EA Access
Dropped plus when I realized I only play exclusives on PS4 and none of them are multiplayer.
Every now and then I'll resub to a MMORPG like Warcraft or Elder Scrolls.

You need Gold to play MP Game Pass games, so not too surprising.
XBL and Gamepass are essential to me, so glad they're putting them into one subscription later in the year.
Other two most recent are EA Access and Humble monthly.
Nintendo could be next if they up the rewards a bit (am sorely tempted by Tetris)

I had gold back in the 360 days when it was the de facto multiplayer system for basically everyone I know but dropped it years and years ago. I also dropped PS+ in late 2016 when I moved away from Playstation as my primary platform. Since then all I've done is dip in and out of Gamepass using Microsoft reward points to play Forza Horizon 4 when the mood takes.
Broadly speaking though I think I would rather buy my games when they reach price points I'm comfortable with. That said, for games I'm not sure about and that aren't sold on a store with a customer focused returns policy (everywhere bar Steam and Origin) I absolutely recognise the benefits of such services to the likes of me.

Ps plus, Xbox Live cause I want to play multiplayer, Nintendo online cause I got it with Twitch Prime.
Had ea Access on Xbox, but wasn't worth it for me. Have Gamepass but will probably not re subscribe cause I'm not getting any use out of it. I have access to PS now cause my daughter subscribes to that, don't use it much either.

Here's me order
- Xbox Live [Necessity]
- EA Access [Worth the £20 a year, if the price went up I'd drop it, EAs output seems to be getting less and less]
- Xbox Game Pass [BEST SUB SERVICE, instant recommend to anyone]
- Twitch Prime
- Nintendo Online (Thanks to Twitch Prime)
Just PS Now. It's the only streaming service available, and unlike Gamepass it has a yearly sub option. With Gamepass I very occasionally will subscribe for a month when I really want to play something, then drop out. Because PS Now has a yearly option I'm more likely to stay constantly subbed to it.
As for the online paywall bullshit subscriptions, oh I have a very firm stance against them. Before PS Plus became an online paywall I was a massive fan of it singing its praises all the time. PS3 era PS Plus I never would have imagined myself not subbing anymore. But here we are. Fuck paid online fuck it forever.

Oh no doubt, just when you see an almost like for like number it does show how they have nailed the messaging with the core audience.
If they can have all of the studios firing on all cylinders for the start of next gen and through its first year it would almost be idiotic to buy an Xbox and not subscribe to Game Pass.
Only PS+, since 2012. I'd probably keep subscribing to it even if it didn't include online play, as it's not required for FTP titles like Let It Die now either.
Well, I have a free Nintendo sub from Twitch that I definitely wouldn't pay money for if that counts?
I sub to Humble Monthly on a month to month basis, so not sure if that counts?

Nintendo Switch Online and Final Fantasy XIV.
I only sub to PS+ or XBLG when there's a game I want with such a deep discount that I still save money by paying for a month subscription.

Yeah you can't really fault them with the messaging.
I wonder if they can figure out a way to make having a Gold sub sell people on getting a Game Pass Sub, without it just being the usual locks MP on consoles behind it, which is looking worse and worse with PC versions not doing it. I'd imagine the crossover with Game Pass subscribers with Gold is huge, but Gold with Game Pass probably not, most obvious way would just be to slam them together for an overall cheaper price than paying separately.
None of them.
I just don't use any of those platforms enough for it to actually be worth it. The value just isn't there for me. Gamepass sounds like it could be okay if it was actually available over here and if Microsoft does eventually put a larger number of PC games into it, but the rest don't really make sense given what they offer.
I did subscribe to one month of Humble Bundle once just to get the game they were advertising, since it was much chepaer just for that than actually buying the game by itself. But even then, out of all the extra "free" games I got, the only one I actually liked was an indie game that cost like 3€ or something, so not really much value there.

Humble Monthly - I love that you can pause a month.
Discord Nitro - Fuck yeah emoji powers :ablobreach:
PS+ and XBL as I need for multiplayer. I guess when I get a nintendo device that needs it I'll be on that too when I play.

True and once Game Pass launches on PC that's going to raise more question of them, I also think they will include xCloud with your Gold SUV, there messaging has to be a lot better than the start of this gen, lol.
