    I think it’s a pretty good deal. As a dad who has limited amount of time to play, I’ve had an Xbox for 16 months and bought it with game pass.

    In that time I’ve played > 50 games and played about 15 of them to the credits.

    In that time I’ve not actually bought a game. At the new price of $20 is have paid $320 which is the cost of about 5 or 6 games, Maybe 10 or a 11 if I’d aimed for sales.

      I mean console games are always more expensive. There’s always something amusing about getting about 20 good games for five bucks on PC. Also epic games is still trying to bribe us with free games.

        Cool story, I’ll take the extra expense for not having to use the limited time I have to manage updates and driver issues.

        I like that my console just works

    This is was inevitable. I have opposed the idea of game pass since inception, and I still do.
