Honestly I was never going to get in on gamepass no matter how good a deal it was because I would lose access to games no matter how long I had been paying to play them. In the same respect I don't like leasing a car, I would rather buy used and accept all the problems that come out of it because eventually I could stop making payments.

I can see why people would enjoy it but it was never for me.

    Understandable. I for one dislike owning games I won't play, so GamePass was a good way to dip my toes, discover games, trial them for days/weeks at my own leisure, and move on.

    mind you a the time the ANNUAL price was an AAA title's price, not 3 months.

    There is really only a couple of games I decided would have been better as a buy. If you like to play a game for 2-3 weeks then move on it was good. You could also try stuff that didn't have demos etc and decide if it was worth your time. After a year I'd seen most of the catalogue I was interested in and it was really only new releases that I kept it for, soon after I stopped it and now play my backlog.

    Although you needed the disk space and bandwidth to be able use it like that.

    I wouldn't sign up again, but I got what I wanted.
