If you could buy a lifetime subscription to a gaming company.

Probably CAPCOM that way I wouldnt have to shell out money for their DLC or different versions of the same game.
Rockstar, Irrational, and maybe Valve (not crazy about any of Valve's games, but they are consistently good and worth buying, so one price would be nice for the whole shebang).
I've never had any bug problems tbh, I must just be incredibly lucky or somthing :/Zantos said:
Fallout Vegas for example was absolutely fine for me.
Well, obviously Bethesda and Valve. Those are obvious. I've been fangasming about Skyrim since the day it was announced (or since I finished Oblivion. I didn't know what it would be, but I knew I was going to buy it) and Valve makes enough excellent games that it'd be worth it.
As much as I absolutely hate myself for saying it though, I would buy on for EA. And I would do it because I know, down the road, I will be buying their games. Whether it's a Bioware game or the next Battlefield or the new (and hopefully better, although I supremely doubt it) Command and Conquer games, or even just random games that they end up putting out, it would be worth spending the money up front because it would end up being less expensive than buying all the games individually. I don't think I'd do the same with Activision, although I'd consider it. Depends on what their CoD games end up being like.

Nintendo and Bethesda, I grew up with Mario, Link and Samus so I still play them even if Nintendo hasn't handled them the best in the last few years and Bethesda since I have pre-ordered a copy of skyrim already and I know I will order a second when the collectors edition when it is announced.
Bethesda
Bioware
4A (their launch title Metro 2033 is my favorite game ever so anything after that is just gravy)
Rockstar
Ubisoft
My little quintet of gaming perfection, I'd gladly pay $1000 for a lifetime of gaming goodness.

I probably wouldn't, for anyone. I don't really buy very many games per year, and I'd question whether the company would be around long enough for me to see a good return.
I'll tell ya what though, ages ago, if my grandpa had gotten such a subscription for MicroProse, it would've at least paid for itself. If he'd gotten a LucasArts one and transferred it to me later, he and I would've saved quite a bit of money.
Another problem is when rights to a franchise change hands.. would you be annoyed if you bought a Westwood subscription mainly for the Command and Conquer series only to have it swiped from under you by EA? How about Interplay, hoping for a long line of Fallout games, only to see the series tanked by Fallout:BoS and the franchise later sold to Bethesda?
Nah, I don't think I would.
