Look I know it’s cool to hate on Microslop, but c’mon.

1. People are largely fine with renting when they can rent a shit ton of stuff at the same time. This is Netflix for video games, and it’s actually done well (compared to whatever the fuck PS tries to do).
2. Mods are niche. The type of person who buys a console already knows they aren’t going to get mods.
3. Game Pass has a strong track record of giving plenty of advance notice for both additions and removals from service. And they offer discounts on all games that are about to go away.
4. See #3. This is a made up strawman issue.

Microsoft is fucked from a business perspective, but Game Pass was a great idea and a great offering right up until they fucked themselves from a business perspective by buying Activision for an ocean of money.
