Sega is toying with the idea of using its own massive franchises - like Persona and Sonic The Hedgehog - to fuel a video game subscription service. Netflix-style subscriptions have sprouted out from almost every corner of the industry ever since Microsoft went all in on its Xbox Game Pass strategy in 2018 - now PlayStation Plus,

SEGA's president Shuji Utsumi said they were "discussing something" when it comes to starting a streaming service, though there's nothing to share now

Gamers may soon be faced with another monthly expense as Sega reportedly considers their own subscription service

It's another sign the industry is moving away from owning games - some fear that means gamers having to "shell out more."
