That's highly reductive. There are games on there that aren't great, but there are plenty of high-quality ones too. For consoles, I'm primarily a PS guy. For gaming in general, I'm a PC guy. I get GP on PC when they have their $1 buy ins, and I don't feel like the games are trash. Most don't interest me, but I've got a sizable list of games that interested me in some fashion in my "play later" section.

I did play Outriders a while back just after the free expansion, but it was still pretty buggy. It was actually a pretty fun game, held my attention for almost the entire length of the campaign, but my interest died just before the end. It was still like 25+ hours I believe. I'm not saying they all stack up to Sony quality - I'm finally playing Ghosts of Tsushima, and it is excellent - but there are still great, enjoyable games on GP all the same.

I mean, I literally counted 80 games I know, off the top of my head, reviewed in the 80s or above and I'm just getting into the "F" list of A-Z.
So you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, and just want to be a detractor.

Secondly, I wish I could say the same for PS Now. I bought a year of that thing, blindly, when I got a PS4 Pro just before the PS5 launched. Was hoping to have a bunch of great games to play. Namely exclusives. To say I was disappointed was an understatement.

Bloodborne and the old Uncharted games. Also Persona 5, though right before the updated edition was launching.
All could be had for $20 and under.
The only big name title that ever came to the service was Last of Us 2, and that's probably because sales dropped off of a cliff months after launch.

PS Now is a service that offers 4x the content of Gamepass, but one quarter of the quality. Only one still gets my money.
I literally bought a month of PS Now again, just to play Last of Us 2; being it was slightly cheaper than just buying the game.

Sony quality?

I agree with you Magog. I only play on PS5 since most my friends are PlayStation gamers and i dont have the time and energy to play on more systems. But if a game comes on gamepass im not gonna buy it on Ps5. If they give it away that cheep on Xbox im not gonna be a sucker and pay full price for it.

If you want to argue for as cheap as something could get, you can say their game is worth $0.33 as I just got 3 months for $1 of PC games pass during BF. It's not a price I'd say is normal, as I can't get it that cheap going forward. I'd say the $10 range is fair talking point for this, as $15 is for Ultimate which isn't necessary.

I think the issue is that GP is a rental service, much like GameFly. I can trial GF right now for free, so any game I rent during the 1st month would be worthless under the "$1" argument. Every other game, during normal pricing, would be worth $15.95 (for the 1 game plan). If you buy books, are they worthless if you can borrow one from the library for free? It's all about ownership and value.

And quick aside, the game has been on sale. In fact, it saw the deepest discount it ever had ($19.79) the same day it went on Game Pass.

Speaking of, if you find ownership value off kilter for $60, wait for a sale - I do, for literally every game I buy lol. I prefer to own, but I'm not going to ignore GP if the value is right. I tend to only do it when I can get it for $1-5, so not frequently, but it's good to try out games & either beat them for nearly nothing, or know I'm happier to not have bought it at all. To me, renting ≠ buying, so I guess - for me at least - one doesn't have an effect on the value of the other. I won't say it isn't that way for you, just trying to provide the other side of the coin.

You weave your own narrative and try to hold people to it.
I don't care to play the simple games you try to.

Gamepass is a service.
That service pays for games to be hosted on them, to create value.
That value has been decided between $10 - 15, depending on the version.
In order to entice people to try it, they cut down the wall to entry and offer new players a cheap buy-in to try it.
That's called marketing.

That's not them saying any game on there is only worth a dollar; let alone the entire catalogue.
That's the dumb little narrative you try to spin by compartmentalizing one little piece of a bigger picture, and calling it a point.

You keep playing dumb little word games that are easy to break down. The issue with you is you just then continue to play dumb in response.

Again. Again. Again ..
Be the bigger man. If you think Gamepass devalues the product, outright purchase the product and devalue gamepass as a service. Otherwise, there's no reason to voice your opinion, because something that seems to bother you oh so much doesn't seem to bother you enough to attempt to be any sort of change against it.

You're nothing more than a MS detractor playing lip service. You're not a good troll. You're as translucent as can be. People are getting tired of easily calling you out, and as soon as we simply stop responding, what will you do with yourself?
