A recent update to GoG Galaxy mentioned that it now supports gaming subscriptions. I notice that all of these subscriptions are all Steam, or rather, non-GoG games. Beyond that I can't really tell what a subscription actually means or does.

Any ideas?

I think this is about those services like Xbox Game Pass, EA Access and so on. Where you pay a monthly fee to have access to lots of games.

Games you don't own but that you can "rent" as part of a subscription.
For example, Xbox Game Pass gets you access to Microsoft games and a couple more by paying 10 bucks a month.
Same with Origin Access, uPlay+ (people actually use this one?), etc.

As far as I know the only Steam "subscription" is Family Share, as in, you get access to a family member's library as long as they are not playing themselves. It is free, but GOG lists it as a subscription because at the end of the day those games are not your propriety.

That makes sense. I do share games with a friend through Steam, and Epic and these games appear to all be from his collection. I believe there are only of few of our games that we both own.
