The more comments I read from Gamers criticizing GamePass' supposed harm to devs,the more I'm convinced these Gamers are under the impression XBOX just decides what games it wants on their service and if you're the unlucky dev who gets picked, woe unto you. TIP:it's negotiated.
@davidscottjaffe Only thing I don't like about it is, I could be in the middle of a game and then one day it could be deleted from the service. I am a father I don't have all the time in the world. So I would rather buy the game outright & play it on my time, not Gamepass time.
@Twinwar @davidscottjaffe You are warned well ahead of time (usually an entire month) and you get a 20% discount in buying the game outright.
@Crusader3456 That's a nice feature. But you're still working on Game Pass Time and not your own. That's my whole reason for not owning. As I am happy with my gold account.
@Twinwar @Crusader3456 If a game you wanted to play goes into Game Pass: A. You like it and you complete it without spending extra $ B. You like it but you don't finish in time. You purchase it with a discount instead of full price C. You don't like the game and you didn't lose any $ No losses.
@PastaF3et @Crusader3456 No I lost $15 or more. Then I have to spend the extra money to buy it. Again, it still put you on a time frame. I play games on my time not Game Pass Time. Why is it so hard for some of you to understand?
@Twinwar @PastaF3et @Crusader3456 You’re not loosing $15, but just $10. Gold is included with Game Pass Ultimate!;)
@Macabre_NL Perfect, that's a perfect example. Now I can just save the $10 a month and not have to buy the game after it expires from Game Pass. From there I can just buy the game outright and own it. I can even trade it in, Lend to a friend, or keep it forever. I like those options better
@Twinwar @Macabre_NL If you only have the time or inclination to play one or two games a year, then for people like you a service like Gamepass absolutely makes no sense. However for those with more free time or a desire to play more, and a wider variety of, games, it's a very good option.
