It is great to give smaller studios a platform to reach more players for a bag of money and potentially some extra sales as profits for people that want to own the game after playing it on Gamepass. That isnt the issue for me. The issue for me is that the first party MS games have been gloriously mediocre. Halo Infinite, Redfall, Starfield, Doom the Dark Ages, Avowed, South of Midnight, the newest Black Ops, and Forza Motorsport have all been mediocre AT BEST. That SEVERELY diminished the value of Gamepass for me. Why am I paying almost $20 a month for Ultimate to play indies and mediocre games when I can get demos and reviews of indie games, buy what I want, and avoid these sloppy MS games? Let's also be extremely clear, I dropped Ultimate down to PC only when Avowed launched because of how uninspired it clearly was. I also CANCELED Gamepass completely when Bethesda and Blizzard decided to allow their people to mock the assassination of an American because certain people were afraid of his words. MS has a TON of work to do to regain lots of people's trust and good faith. Instead of working on that they chose to raise the price of their consoles to astronomical prices that they are simply not worth. MS is creating new ways to destroy the image they started with the OG XB and perfected with the 360. It is a shadow of its former self and that shadow is disappearing like an image on a picture in Back to the Future.

Shouldn't have needed it in the first place. This is what Randy doesnt understand. I dont care if you can fix it the next day or a week later. It should have worked out of the gate with all the hype he was talking. Trash. No thanks.
