Aside from the whole not owning games things, it’s actually great you get well over 100 games for xbox and well over 100 more games for pc (with ultimate) including xbox game studios games from the day they release for like 20 bucks a month and if you decide you want to own a game that’s on gamepass digitally you get a discount on the purchase price
Yes then it’s not for you. Game pass is more for the active players that play a lot of games. If you at least play and finish a game each month, even each 2 months then it’s simply cheaper to have Game Pass instead of buying the games (if you’re going to play new AAA on release day)
It’s a pretty good value if you play at least 1 AAA title every 3 months or 1 indie game a month. I’ve tried games I never would have bought (Some I didn’t like and I liked game pass even more for it, because now I’m not out 20-60+$ or having to research every game or make sure I play within refund limits) and it’s cratered my desire to sail the Gaming seas.
It’s kinda like the good days of Netflix, but for games, I’d get in and enjoy it while it lasts because we all know where it’ll end up eventually…
It would be good if gamepass didn’t disrespect your HDD by creating directories that cannot be got rid of except by reformatting the entire fucking drive. There is no reason for it to do that -_-
Gamepass really abuses a bunch of “window features” to drm their games. On steam: folders and games, modding is easy, moving saves to GOG/Epic/etc is easy. In gamepass, it’s a nightmare.
If you’re lucky, there are 10-20 step tutorials of how to move save games from steam to gamepass and vice versa.
I’ve gotten permissions wrestled away from Windows for that folder, I just haven’t figured out how to get the entire Windows Store/Default Apps put back together again lmfaooo

Ok, that sounds better. I really don’t play that many games so as long as I still have the option to straight-up buy the ones I do play, that is cool.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted.
