every single new game

Their catalogue is dogshit and has a very small selection of games that are even worth considering on a steep discount.

I can literally say the same about Steam with how much shovelware it contains vs how many games that aren't garbage. I've found many enjoyable games on GamePass just as I have with Steam. Sucks that you haven't, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's not the ratio.

Gamepass's entire library of "not dogshit", cumulatively, isn't worth a year of the subscription to actually own. They don't publish a meaningful number of games worth playing if they were free, and you can count the indie games (which are cheap to actually own anyways) that are actually good on your hands.
