It sounds like Game Pass pricing will drop soon

$30 a month. I stopped paying that. That’s like 4 games a year in subscription fees. I’d rather just buy 4 games. I don’t need endless games for that price.
Are there even 4 90$ games worth purchasing in any given year?
Most of my library is in the <30$ range
Good point. I just bought Fallout 3, New Vegas, and FO4 for under $16 total.
Even with the $60 price tag for each these three are half of what they are asking for a year.
I dumped it when it went from $5 to $10 a month for PC gamepass.
$120 a year gets me A LOT of games on Steam sales.
I know I’m not the target audience, but it was pretty nice playing tons of games for $5 a month.
At $30 I don’t think I could even justify that. It’s absurd. Even as a one off to play everything I could…I’d rather use that $30 for literally anything else.
Yeah, and the games keep getting worse and worse. It’s like phone app quality games called “King’s Realm 3” or some shit that no one asked for.
