Yeah I treat gamepass like a demo to try the game sometimes. But if it's something I know I will play, I just buy it on steam. Its such a pain. Half the time the game won't launch. The only reason I keep it around is because my kids play on my Xbox sometimes

Maybe just buy the games they play recently then, you'll be quid's in and not tied into a rental contract.

Eh, it's just easier on the console. They can pick anything in the library and play online this way. Otherwise no such luck. I mean I don't usually pay full price fo gamepass anyways.
