I like game pass as an option for playing games that I don't want to spend $60 on. But I also want the option to own it forever.

    Subscription models are great when they're not trying to fuck you. There are upsides and downsides, but if you have options between subscribing with a one-click unsub or buying games and you choose subscribe, it might just be for good reason.

    I got Game Pass because I wasn't sure I'd like Starfield. I now have 20 games installed (including Starfield) and just pause game pass when work is too busy for me to get value out of it. I'm at about $70 total spend. Yeah that's more than starfield, but I've enjoyed close to $500 in games, some of which I either wouldn't have bought and love or WOULD have bought and am glad I didn't.

    But if somebody makes you pay $20/mo for Dildo Simulator, and colors and sizes are paid DLC, then they're just trying to fuck you.

    Yeah, but if you had bought starfield at full retail price there's a pretty good chance you'd have regrets about it.

    I absolutely don't mind spending a couple bucks a month to try a bunch of games. If there's something I like and want to play a lot, I'll eventually buy it.
