Are there examples for a games that wouldn't exist without subscription services?

Small games can sell for smaller money and get successful without subscriptions, too (like Vampire Survivors, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and many more).

I don't think subscription services will pay good money to small productions. I mean look at Spotify's or Twitch' payouts. Only the big dogs get fed and the smaller ones have no choice.
