    Fuck microshit for their predatory pushing of game pass and not being able to own games. I would never buy an xbox and hope others don’t fall for it as well.

      Game Pass is awesome. Back when I was a kid, you rented a game for a weekend and it cost you like $8. Now for around that price you rent a hundred games for a month.

      Game Pass is just streaming for video games. It works and lets me try out so many games that I would never have spend money on, but ended up liking a lot of them.

        Yeah, I get that gamepass is a good way to play games but the thing is when this is if I really like the game and want to purchase it, I can’t. They won’t ever sell me the game files, they’ll only give me the key to rent it out and can revoke that whenever they want.

        I can totally relate. Paying 30-100€ per game is something for rich people or something I’d do once or max twice a year on very carefully selected games, hoping these games are worth it. With Game Pass I spend 120€ a year to access a wide range of games.

        Once I played through or once version 2 of a game comes out, I’m not likely to play it ever again.

        Also I have phases where I play a lot and phases where I do not play at all. I can simply discontinue Game Pass in these cases.
