@@Puffle573 I dunno, man. When it comes to subscriptions, the game has to live its longest to be reasonable. For Taiko, it may be big, especially in Japan, but elsewhere, it’s not and tends to be obscured by gamers focusing on other massive titles like COD, Elden Ring, Horizon, etc., so, Namco’s taking a dangerous gamble for making the other songs subscription only. Once the game is no longer supported, likely in a few years, the songs will be gone into mist. This is gonna affect Namco’s consumer unless they make those songs non-subscription before shutting down Taiko’s servers. And BTW, if I’m gonna pay for subscription, at least I should get the game for free.

On the other hand I don't agree with your other statement about the game. If this game is anything like Drum n' Fun, then they'll most likely put it up for sale. The game is normally like 50 or 60 dollars but it's always on sale for 9 or 10, which will definitely make up for the cost of the subscription service. I feel like instead of an in-game service they should just use the Nintendo Online service and make it a requirement in order to play the songs.
