Comment on Microsoft asks many Game Pass subscribers to pay more for less
Frozengyro@lemmy.world 5 months agoYea, if you look at your purchases you probably spend less than 20/month on average for games. Plus many of the “big” games aren’t on game pass from the start.

I’ve done the math; for what I currently pay if I play two full price games on gamepass a year I come out ahead.

That also assumes you benefit from playing them day one.
There are plenty of games that I would play day one if it’s available. But if not, then I would happily wait and buy it when it’s cheaper. Also, the ownership adds to the value if I’m not keeping it all the time.
So if I would have waited until the game is $40, I’m saving $40 max. But also, I’ll still have it 2 years from now when it’s worth $25, assuming I want to play it again. So it maybe saved me $15, depending how you look at it.
