Microsoft has apparently eliminated the $1 Xbox Game Pass trial once again, just before the release of Starfield (twitter.com)

The subscription service is bad because a trial period that has no bearing on subscribers is changing? Okay.

Found another subscriber that shells out money monthly for items they will never own then complains they can't afford housing/food.

Subscriptions help no one but companies profits.

If you only ever play games or watch movies/shows once regardless, it's just a cheaper way to get content. The only reason I don't use Gamepass is because it doesn't work on Linux. That's it.

I have Netflix and Disney+ because it's way cheaper than buying the movies and shows I watch on it, movies and shows that I'll only ever watch once.
