A very good question, and in fact, to answer it correctly, you need to understand several important aspects. According to https://gamesroid.com/subscription-based-gaming-in-india/ first of all, India is a country where mobile games are really at the peak of popularity. And, of course, global trends are gradually beginning to penetrate the country, but in the matter of game subscriptions, as they do in the USA and Europe, everything is much more complicated. The reasons why India is not yet ready for the mass introduction of game subscriptions are related, first of all, to economic realities. As you yourself correctly noted, the average income in India is significantly lower than in developed countries. Moreover, many people in India still live on a fairly limited budget. This means that even if a company offers a game subscription at a low price, its cost may be too high for a significant part of the population. The example of Netflix and other similar services clearly shows that India, although open to foreign services, is not always ready to perceive them in the format in which they exist in the West. For example, Netflix in India faced the problem of high subscription prices, which, as with gaming services, were prohibitive for many users. As a result, subscription companies began to lower prices and introduce different subscription models tailored to the local market to attract consumers.
