    And you’re bad at math and financials if you think it’s better to buy a singular game for $75.

    For what it’s worth, I buy every game I really like on Steam (I have over 1200 games on Steam), but I use GamePass for everything else.

    I’ve saved so much money using GamePass. Sorry, but I’m not paying for Forza, Flight Simulator, Minecraft Legends, etc. All of those games I beat in less than a week, and they cost $100+ CAD. Literally saved money by not buying them, but got to play them all fully.

        Forza 1 week. Flight Sim was fun for less than a week. That’s ~2 weeks. One subscription for GamePass is 30 days. If you cancel before the 30 days, you get a refund for the remaining time.

        It’s quite literally a no brainer to take advantage of GamePass right now.

        People who will comment “ya but you don’t own them anymore”, I don’t care. I have 0 urge to play either game, because they are finished. I essentially saved $280 CAD playing on GamePass.

          I’m not arguing that GamePass isn’t good for you, it sounds like it’s a good fit. I’m just saying you didn’t beat any of these games, you got bored of them. You’re the kind of gamer who likes a wide variety of games and dabbles from game to game with fleeting interest.

          Some people try to master a game and will sink hundreds to thousands of hours into the ones you just mentioned. For them GamePass would not be a good deal.
