the paid Xbox Game Pass which removes games from the library on a regular basis

This isn’t a fault. It’s a subscription service. It’s not an everhexpanding library of games you keep forever. Many games are only there for a period of time.

Right. But if you are a paying customer, and you’re about to beat a game, and MS removes the game from GP, that’s super fucked.

Best thing gamers can do right now is not buy Xbox.

Of course, it’s designed like that, but unlike a movie, some games take dozens of hours to finish. Some games hundreds of hours to explore them in full.

If I’m only paying to play demos, fine, they can market it that way. But this give and take model fails to work for someone who’s life doesn’t revolve around gaming.

I have enjoyed Games with Gold, which is no longer offered, but even those “free” games hinged on a subscription. It was a better model than the game pass, since those games remained in your library for as long as you have a subscription.
