    I renewed by doing the $1 dollar deal again a year or two ago… racked up another 3 years at the time.

    As a Game pass user from Day 1 I evangelized it to everyone I knew. Especially going in to this console generation.

    Now though, I see no purpose to it. Microsoft has dropped the bag in a unbelievable way when it comes to dropping exclusives / first party games.

    It’s not so much the Netflix of games as it is the Tubi…

      I don’t know, I think there’s still a big collection of games that make it worth it. I don’t think the “core” cheaper option with a set 25 games is really worth it though.

        I get that for some users. In my case, 90% of what’s in the catalog that I’d be interested in I already own. I know this isn’t the standards, but it’s what happens when you’re an avid Steam Gamer with a Humble Sub and a collecting problem.

        I joined Game pass to have Xbox live to play with my console buddies and for day one exclusive access. At this point, I’ve moved most of them on to PC and Xbox has done nada with my 5 or so years of subscription.
