Honestly I am quite indifferent. I have no sense of ownership for this game as I play it on Steam. I paid for indefinite access, but no physical product.
There is a huge barrier to play EU4 as it probably feels prohibitively expensive for an old game, especially if you cannot know how long it will still be supported for.
As a rule I think renting (or buying on credit) anything that you are going to use either often over a longer period of time is a bad idea. But if you get to play EU4 for say $10 a month for two years, it is still cheaper than buying the full game.
I see it as a solution for where EU4 stands today (and old game with many DLCs).
Just make sure no mechanics, flavor or bonuses of any kind are limited to a certain payment method. I personally would not invest in a game that uses this mechanic. Then again this might attract another demographic so it might be profitable for you.
