Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

Even now Gamepass is only worth it for one or two months to play some indie games, maybe Yakuza if you're into that. It just doesn't make sense to have a long time subscription there like it used to be with Netflix a while ago. Most of the good stuff is older and most people already own that, I suppose.

gamepass has decent value if you have a group of friends who like to jump around playing random coop titles, as you have a low risk value critea to try a game to see if youd like it as a group.

I disagree since I love indies too, so it also saves me a lot of money that they have new ones every month, I can also try early access titles without getting scammed.

Nah they had AAA titles from day one like starfield, total war Warhammer 3, wasteland 3, ect. Those make it worth it.

As publishers roll out thier own crap the quality will drop but at the moment I've saved quite a bit of money keeping game pass.

I doubt you saved any money paying monthly unless you pay for a month, play the shit out of whatever during the month then never pay again until some other title appears that might be worth it.
