Well, for one, Gamepass isn't GaaS, it's a subscription service. And most of the games in their collection are also not GaaS games, to be clear. Second, that wasn't your initial, hyperbolic point, which was that "shame pass" is a ripoff because it only provides incomplete games (which is also not true).
If you don't like it, you do you, but don't make shit up about something just because.
i really don't like it, i didn't make up shit about it. i made an observation. You clearly see value in GaaS because you are subscribing to the...Service of Game Pass with your subscription.
What specifically did i make up? and lets not make it a hearsay argument. you see value so you're going to point to that i don't see value and im going to point to that. But hey you do you though, and you do, indeed do you, i see that. How long have you been paying for game pass?
My buddy and I split the cost, and have basically since it started six years ago, so we've spent a collective ~500 dollars each on it. Lemme do some math to see if it's been worth it. Add up the current, non-sale price of Nier Automata, Hellblade, Phoenix Point, Project Wingman, Grounded, Solasta, Persona 5, Gears of War 1, 2, and 3, The Talos Principle, Hi-Fi Rush, Sunset Overdrive, Recore, Outriders, The Outer Wilds and The Outer Worlds. There are more, but these add up to well over what we've spent on the service. It also saved us $70 when we realized that Starfield wasn't worth paying money for.
spent $500, Non sale launch price for comparison of games, saved $70 on starfield.
yeah, i just don't see why anyone would do that. But you and your buddy do, so hey, have fun.
Not launch price, current price. Like, if I wanted to play all of these games come January when there won't be a sale going on. Had we bought all of those games at launch they would be significantly more. I guess if you don't play a lot of video games it wouldn't be worth it, but I'm not about to tell someone they wasted their money when they spent $500 expanding their baseball card collection or buying an entry level DSLR or something just because I don't personally see the appeal.
maybe you should. have you tried to expand your horizons?
I should what? See the appeal? That's not how any of this works. I can't just will myself to like something
