    Gamepass is a great deal if it has 4 or more games a year come out that you want to play, and that’s if you pay full price instead of buying cards, etc.

      What if I play all my games on a 3 year delay and buy all 4 games for $15 with DLC included?

        I feel like that’s stretching reality unless you’re getting localized pricing for lower income countries. I’ve never seen an AAA game drop below $10 in just 3 years, especially if it’s an AAA game that also got DLC. On average it’s usually just 40-50% off after that kind of duration, mayyyybe 60% off. Anything more than that is usually because the game sucked ass or it’s really old.

        Well then that’s a different situation to the one they described.

      I keep hearing how great Gamepass is but I really fail to see how unless you just began gaming like one year ago. Every once in awhile I look to see what’s on there and it’s just old games I’ve played before.

        I really don’t get much use out of reviews and trailers. The only way for me to know if I like a game is to try it. I test tons of Gamepass games and finish half a dozen a year, give or take.

        Just in the last month it’s had Sea of Stars, Starfield, Lies of P, and Payday 3 release.

        Lots of others too, of course. But those are the 4 that caught my attention.

        Gamepass is great for extended trials, especially indie games with middling to good ratings. Other than that, it’s nice to play the back catalog of MS games if you missed them. At least for PC, that’s what I got out of it.

      Until MS ramps up the prices because the current pricing is unsustainable

        They decide what they do offer to publishers for game pass rights. If they increase the fee, it’s because they started to pay more for whatever offered to us.

          If ms increases prices it won’t be for profit, it’ll be to be kind to publishers lmao

            They aren’t doing it to be kind to anyone, it’s a business after all

              Exactly. They’ll ramp up the pricing in order to make a profit. Just like I said.
