I have gamepass and I’m happy with it. I tend to dabble in a lot of games instead of playing one game for a long time.

One new game costs $60 to purchase. For me personally there is little chance I will be playing it 4 months from now.

Alternatively I can pay for gamepass and play any of those games for $15 a month. The only situation where this ends up being a worse deal is if I only play one game for more than four months, which so far has not happened for me.

I realize that doesn’t make sense for everyone, though.

The issue for me is that most games I buy are way cheaper, (because of steam sales) and the games I enjoy are rarely on gamepass. So I’d be barely saving money and be playing worse games.

Also its not available on Linux so there’s that
