yea I think if I shared a sub cost with someone it would be worth it, it's the only reason i still have prime. I personally think that $120 for service rendered is a little low, but I believe that $240 is just too steep for a single person. For the benefits given, I think easily $5 a month for online, then like $7 or $8 a month for the games would be more then reasonable instead of the current $20 a month. I think 150-160 a year is more than fair for service rendered, but currently its roughly $15 a month for just the games(assuming the previous price of 60/year for only online which ends up being $5 a month), that's almost a full indy game title monthly. Unless I'm actively playing more then 10 Indy games a year, or more than 4 AAA titles, it's just not worth having for the current price. It's usually cheaper to just buy the game outright

that being said, if PC game pass is what MS considers it's Ultimate without online sub... they consider just the game portion as $12 a month, which for what is offered, I find too steep for my tastes for someone who would want to lock on for a year at a time.
