And again if that happens I'll happily evaluate the value. For now I'll choose to save thousands and use that money in the future for theoretical price hikes.

It won't, it's just slippery slope bullshit, but I'm ready with three money I saved.

You don't think MS will up prices? Lol

Phil Spencer in the MS FTC leaks literally said that Gamepass isn't making money. Now, personally, I'm of the belief that MS is a for-profit company rather than a charity, in which case they'll up prices.

They have to up prices or shut down gamepass. That's not my opinion, that's capitalism. Microsoft will not keep gamepass if there's no possibility of making money from it, and there isn't at current pricing (source: Microsoft).

And save thousands? Thousands? You'd seriously be buying more than 33 AAA games each year for full retail price? Then never playing them again? Sounds like you're exaggerating by a pretty large amount lol

Oh at least 30. I probably clear a game every 2-3 weeks. And even if they up prices

I'll deal with prices as they come for now, I'm saving, yes thousands and playing more games than ever.
