game pass is a really good value if you ask me I don't pay for it anymore but I have for a while

You're right. It is really good value. For now. That's how all of these subscription services start.

My netflix was once £6. Recently they've announced it'll be going up to £18, despite it losing a bunch of shows and films that used to be on there.

Back a long time ago, my SkyTV package cost very little each month. Now some packages cost hundreds.

Adobe and others have done the same thing with their subscription services.

I don't know why people are in denial that MS will do the same thing everyone else has done when Microsoft themselves said Gamepass isn't profitable in the FTC leaks.

What a hot take! People want to hate the service on ideological platforms. They don't want to see them math.
