MODERATORS
With the prepaid live gold cards and gold to ultimate 1:1 conversion rate, game pass had really great value. I played quite a number of games that had flown under my radar over the ~4years I was subscribed.
Obviously I bailed, since they killed all conversion enticements and price hiked it to ludicrous levels.
It was glorious.
Microsoft Rewards were also at their peak. I cashed out my 450,000 points at the end of last year. It's not worth the effort for me anymore.
