Gamepass is great. It's nice to sit down on the couch and boot up a random game via streaming. Reminds me of Blockbuster in a sense.

You can do the same thing on PC, but Xbox is idiot-proof and at the end of the day I just don't have the energy to deal with anything more difficult than that.

I’m agree, but game pass has been offering meh value in the long run for me. Sure there are a few new titles, but once your run through your backlog it’s just ok. Problem is that Xbox lacks the blockbusters that appeal to the masses this generation, coupled with an utterly confusing naming scheme that I still don’t understand. What Xbox should I buy? No idea, because the names mean nothing.

Casual gamers see it differently, and I imagine that's a huge chunk of their player base. My boyfriend rarely games but gets so stoked to boot up a random no-name game and play it for a few hours at night on cloud streaming.
