I tried it and canceled it the moment the games I actually played started randomly disappearing. “Whoops, we only licensed this for a couple of months. You can still pay even more to ‘buy’ it, though. We might also re-license it later on, but who knows? Also, enjoy this absolute corporate trash we will shove into your face constantly!” No thanks.

So in other words, you pay more and unless you’re on the highest tier, they take away the one thing that made Game Pass worth the money: new games available on day one.

I’m not a fan of subscription models overall but getting a ton of new releases for about what two full price titles per year would cost was a great deal. Not anymore.

And there goes another reason to keep a Windows machine around.

This was inevitable and the price increases will continue.
