Stop. Buying. Games.

It's also not fun when you know you have limited time to play a game (if you don't get year long subscriptions)

For me the problem with gamepass is that I own everything they offer that I would want to play. Doom, quake, fallout, elder scrolls I purchased all that stuff.

I did as well for the same reason. Also my old Xbox crew separated as we became adults and had our lives to worry about more, so now what became my active intense hobby is now something I do maybe once a week, maybe twice on average. And I’m saving at least $10/month doing it. Actually I’m saving whatever ultimate costs nowadays, bc that’s what I had. And I had Xbox live since the Halo 2 online days. Gaming anymore is such a sham

@@Killthebatman87 i used to play playstation which didn't. The reason why playstation was so popular in at the time of the ps3 was mainly because they didn't require an absurd subscription that does absolutely nothing. And i clearly said "consoles", not "xbox". Xbox is not the only console in the world.

@@Killthebatman87 yeah, but you could pay a one time fee of $60 to play online for the whole year. Now it’s a monthly fee only option that will cost you anywhere from $75 (only if you pay $25 every three months for core) up to $240 a year for ultimate, so minimum a $15 increase from what it used to be, or double the price just for the “standard” option of game pass. And as of right now the only two options i’m seeing on the xbox store from the console itself is ultimate and core. Gold by itself isn’t a thing anymore and neither are yearly subscriptions, and honestly it’s just plain confusing and a chore to keep up with.

so glad I figured out a glitch to get ultimate for free forever

@@Abr4CaD4v3R that solves nothing… no money means no new titles. Despite popular opinion, Id argue the rise of piracy does mean lost sales and has led to a lot of the “play it safe” mentality of modern movie and game studios.

@@Abr4CaD4v3Ror just buy indie games. Either one is acceptable

@@billyj.causeyvideoguy7361 pirating is a necessity in most cases since most people can't afford too many subscriptions at the same time. In my case if I were to watch my football team play the Home League games, Champions League and Cup games I'd have to get 3 different TV subscriptions, one for the home games, one for the away and cup games and the other for the Champions League matches. That would be around 50+ Euros a month, not even close to affordable. And you still have more to cover, like games, music, cloud services, movies, etc etc. There is very few people who can afford those expenses so they turn to piracy.

No it’s not

And my problem with your problem is companies are making it increasingly difficult to cancel subscriptions, so it's not as easy as it should be anymore

It's still biting you in the ass whether you want to acknowledge it or not. The actions of the majority of consumers are making things worse for all consumers.

I believe social media censorship has something to do with this

I have a pc but i dont even use it to play games anymore since everything is pretty much ruined. Only games i played the last 2 years are killing floor 2 roblox with nephews(hate it) and palworld

for me it cost 100 euro to get 3 years of game pass ultimate(my country do not have a region so I could use any region I need), and it is really not that big of a price making 3k after tax. 20$ A MONTH is really ridiculous even for USA, you people are really getting robed, sorry for you(

Tell that to Netflix and Blockbuster..

It’s always been that way with Xbox and Sony. Pc steam not so much.

Yeah! Instead pay $70 or more for u finished games and be happy! I know this is the better option because a rich, greasy youtuber told me to think that! 😂🤡

TheJohhnyE Have you been living under a rock? Games go on sale so quickly, just buy older games and buy day one for the rare games everyone knows will be bangers. It costs pretty much the same as gamepass, and you get to keep the games you buy.

no pc is so shit... literally infested with hackers for ALL online games 😂😂

@@b3to653yea consoles have no hackers…

I've been a PC user for at least 5 years now, and i'd like to say across every single game i've played i've encountered not a single hacker, and I play games a lot. You'll enjoy the freedom do steam sales, key websites such as Cdkeys that lets you but games at substantial price cuts, subscriptions (such as xbox game pass, previously 10$ a month compared to 17$ a month) are way cheaper than console. Adding onto that the absence of online play. Unless you're buying a super high end gaming PC you'll ultimately be spending less money owning a PC than a console. Accessories are less expensive to replace, most games are less expensive. My PC costs around 1k and it it outperformed any gaming device like it was nothing providing a high quality and high FPS gaming experience, my specs are a 6700XT and a Ryzen 5 5600x. If you can afford a PC thats decent i'd highly recommend it, but there is nothing wrong with staying on console. They're all still games at the end of the day.

PC are always better unless if the game you want to play have a trash PC be version thats why having a console specifically PS5 is still handy good ports plus actual physical games and 2 yrs earlier exclusives

Another example is Age of Empires IV, you can get the base game but no expansions with ultimate vs PC gamepass, stuff like that used to be on game pass and they listened to gamers

@@balsalmalberto8086 would be a shame if someone…

What a waste of a trip watching this lol. Listen to some good music!

They gotta give money to the devs off of that (obviously), gotta pay the download servers and the cloud streaming servers (as well as feature implementation like "play anywhere" where you can continue the same save across PC, XBox and Cloud on supported games). Because yes, gamepass ultimate does in fact double as a cloud streaming service - not to say, they're one of the best providers out there for that on top, which is an extremely nice bonus on top for anyone that utilizes it.

I assume the cost of paying to have 3rd party titles available on Game Pass is what they need to stay ahead of.

the problem is that the game pass is such a good deal it's literally killing microsoft's gaming division. who is ever going to pay 70 dollars for whatever microsoft game comes out when you could play it and everything else you want for a month for like fifteen bucks? so instead of making seventy bucks per person every first party release, they make fifteen bucks once a month. plus they pay these other indies and shit to get their games on the pass. the server doesn't play into it at all.

​@@True_Terror_Tales technically, it's a way to get people to pay $70 a game anyways. Muta called it two games worth, yeah maybe if you're buying ultimate editions like mk1 (trash), but that's really 4 launch titles. When I grew up, my family maybe bought one or two new games a year, MAX. Microsoft is making off like a bandit since they've managed to now cut off the secondary market. Now it only takes 3 months of consuming slop you probably would have never tried before/ would be paying $15 a title at most to have now paid the same price for ONE launch title that you actually intended to play. The thing about subs like humble is if you cancel it cause you don't like a month's offerings, you can still play the games you bought already. In gamepass you can't so you're basically on the hook to pay every single month. Game pass has never been a good proposition and the early pricing was only to acclimate people and blind them to the purchasing powers they've lost.

Facts plus if you like the game enough you can just go buy it and support the company that made it. So in a way it’s a win win.

Imagine coming up with such a stupid metaphor and thinking it was clever

@@TheJohhnyEI hope you’re getting paid to shill this hard

@@TheJohhnyE don’t get so mad

@@TheJohhnyEit is, you acting like it’s not because it goes against your corporate overlord doesn’t mean it’s not.

It doesn't work like shoes. As shoes are a necessity, video games are not. How gamepads works would mean you could get multiple pairs of shoes that were chosen by the company or put on the service by the company and you can wear any of those pairs until the company takes those shoes off the store or until you return them and get another pair. You metaphor is flawed as it is very reductive. Plus, you don't have to pay for the pair of shoes, you pay a fee to use a wide variety of shoes for an allotted period of time.
