But like another commenter points out, if you're playing games like Silk Song or other similarly-priced games, it makes more sense to buy the game.
But yeah, you're absolutely right: lots of flaws with it, and I expect it will just get worse, much like Netflix.
Long live Steam, which I still use and love :)
I’ve had many conversations with people in their 30s who have not touched video games since the 360/PS3 era. Gamepass, even if just for a few months, makes a ton of sense for them if they have the time.
I say this as somebody who absolutely does not think people should be paying $30 for gamepass generally speaking and I think Microsoft/Xbox is incredibly weak right now. But there are certainly cases where it makes a ton of sense and Sony isn’t exactly offering a better alternative unless you want a Final Fantasy machine that’s library is dominated by PS3/PS4 remasters (which in many ways mimics the value prop of gamepass for those who have not been gaming for years).
There were three in the 90s that I know of. Have I missed some since?
