I dont really understand why people struggle so much against Game Pass and its "All you can eat" subscription service. Especially in contrast to Sony and Nintendo's approach to game pricing.
New PS5 games will cost $70 at retail.
Nintendo games historically barely ever dip below $40 mark, until you can get lucky years later and they are dropped to $20 as part of a "Great est Hits" collection. Breath of the Wild, a Switch launch game from almost 4 years ago, is still $50 at retail.
Before people start countering this and saying "Well we want to support game developers directly, how else will they survive to make more games!" Sure, you can think that. But the evidence points to the opposite. Many developers have actually come out and said that having the guaranteed money from a Game Pass contract for a year has actually benefited them greatly financially, as well as having more eyes on their product and getting more people to try it. And, as its been said, there is NOTHING stopping you from still buying games! In fact, if a game is on Game Pass and you liked it so much you want to keep it, they give you 20% off it!
I personally made the jump to the Xbox ecosystem and Game Pass and after trying Ultimate for 3 months with a borrowed Fatty launch Xbox One. I was fully 100% into the Sony ecosystem beforehand, PS4Pro, PS3 Slim and hell, even a goddamn Vita. I was able to score a Series X on launch and am fully looking forward to this generation with Game Pass and Xbox.
