Comment on Game Pass Price Hike Announced, Will Cost $30/Month For Ultimate

And now that you’re going to cancel, you will be left with nothing. If you had taken the hundreds of dollars you spent on GamePass and just bought the games instead, you would have still had a library of games you own.

I’ve also done the math a few times and every time the cost of GamePass was higher than the amount of money I would’ve saved in that same timeframe.
The only way I could’ve saved money would’ve been to not purchase any games not on GamePass and limit myself to (worse) games included in the subscription.
So if I, someone who purchases and subsequently abandons a lot of game, so basically the target audience, can’t make GamePass work, I wonder how many people just run on copium when they mention how much money they save. Either that, or they treat gaming like junk food and don’t care about quality.

Idk I got plenty of value out of it, I play the vast majority of my games once and never replay them, so using a month of game pass to play 3-4 games and try out a few more to see if they’re worth it is a very good deal. But if you keep repurchasing to play the same few games or only play 1 game a month then yup it’s a horrible deal

It’s all in the habit. So yeah, if you only play every game once? Great value.
But for anyone that easily sinks a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand hours in to a game they like? Game Pass is a very bad deal.
