    I really think you’re underestimating how much and what kind of content they offer, but you do you.

      It’s an incredibly far cry from the “all” he mentioned, and it isn’t close to the best or most desirable.

      I’m well aware of what it has available, and it’s genuinely not good enough to get me to install Windows if they provided it for free. But the entire reason Gamepass exists is because they know it makes them more long term than buying your games.

        The subscription model access to an entire catalogue is more economical than buying every single new game for full price.

        This is what I said. I never implied they had all games. Only that it’s cheaper in the long run to subscribe and get access to the new games on GamePass than paying full price for each one.

          every single new game

          Their catalogue is dogshit and has a very small selection of games that are even worth considering on a steep discount.

            I can literally say the same about Steam with how much shovelware it contains vs how many games that aren’t garbage. I’ve found many enjoyable games on GamePass just as I have with Steam. Sucks that you haven’t, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

              It’s not the ratio.

              Gamepass’s entire library of “not dogshit”, cumulatively, isn’t worth a year of the subscription to actually own. They don’t publish a meaningful number of games worth playing if they were free, and you can count the indie games (which are cheap to actually own anyways) that are actually good on your hands.
