Game Pass Ruled 2021, Giving Us A Glimpse Of An Xbox-Less Future

GamesAsAService3h ago

Love it or hate it, you cannot deny that this is an interesting experiment.

I have Game Pass and feel that there is good value to be had.

And as long as there are options for how people choose to consume their games (physical, digital, subscriptions, etc…) I don’t see a problem.

For me, my local market for new games is approaching $100 per game.

For the same price, I can get Game Pass for a year. (you can get it cheaper with certain promotions).

At $100/game I cannot afford to buy a game that I do not enjoy. I cannot experiment with new genres I would typically not play. It is an expensive (relatively speaking) and depressing mistake.

I like the non committal nature of Game Pass. I will try a bunch of games, and while I may like 25% of the games I try, at least I was able to try all of these games conveniently and at no additional cost to myself. I have discovered genres of games that I now love, but I would not have experimented with that genre in the past.

I am fine if people don’t like Game Pass. But FOR ME it makes the most financial sense, and has resulted in me playing MORE games that I ever have in the past. For me that is a win.

I hope with my own story, people can at least understand why someone might actually enjoy Game Pass.
