    Game Pass pricing currently unchanged.

    That is because the job of Game Pass isn’t to make money, it is to funnel customers into subscription services and destroy the idea that people buy games from artists.

    Game Pass either succeeds and destroys the gaming industry like spotify did to music or Microsoft will abandon Game Pass.

      GamePass used to be such a good value, but it’s gotten so overpriced. I’d rather keep the money and spend it on a few games a year I get to keep. Plus, not being available on Linux and/or Steam Deck makes it easier to ignore. Never going back to Windows.
