Game Pass native on Steam Deck would be 🔥🔥🔥
I will truly never undestand the hard-on for gamepass. Have people learned nothing from Netflix/hulu/prime et al. The only thing separating us from a pile of trash software like the Atari days is the existence of fucking physical ownership. Seriously concerned about how dumb the average person is becoming. We have enshitification all around us but people are hell bent on the monolithic cancerous mass that is microsoft controlling more of the gaming space. Jesus fucking Christ!
If ever game pass is the only legal option for accessing a game, I'll happily consider revising my opinion, until then increased choices is always more consumer friendly. People should make their own personal choices about which of those options work best for themselves, and just because one option is preferred by some people, doesn't mean another can't be preferable to others.
Exactly. As long as the games can bought (preferably physically, but at least digitally), I see no issue for this.
People should stop to keep their subscriptions when they do not use it. I subscribe to gamepass for 1 or 2 months, play all the games I am interested in, then stop it. If more people do that, the only way for Microsoft to keep subscribers is by improving its service to stay relevant.
