So glad I (literally) never bought into gamepass or any of its ilk.

$360 a year for Gamepass...I see what you did there, Microsoft.

Back then, Game Pass for PC at $1 for 3 months was such a great deal to be honest.

I could try plenty of games in that span. Finished some, dropped some. Games I had liked I eventually bought them on Steam or GOG.

GP can be a good subscription service if the price is fair. In some countries like Brazil, there are no regional pricing from publishers (Steam offers it though but pubs can override) so people in those countries with low/average income get ****ed by the $70-$80 USD price tag games have nowadays.

The US really needs more regulation on stuff like subscription fees.

You don't spend billions to make millions. Everyone still on the Xbox train is polishing brass on the titanic at this point.

Microsoft should have never been allowed to spend those billions in the first place

I agree. They've almost single handedly destabilized the triple A market and have gift wrapped the industry to Sony and Valve. A lot of really talented people have lost their livelihoods and that only going to continue without any legal ramifications because the current regime actively encourages this stuff.
