You don't want Gamepass on anything. This is a naked attempt at outright monopoly that will end with you owning nothing and paying for access. Microsoft wants everything behind a subscription paywall and to not actually sell games otherwise.

It only seems like a "good deal" right now because they're clawing for market-share. But the endgame of Gamepass is the death of modern gaming media under a Microsoft-run monopoly.

It's why they bought ActiBlizz, it's why they want to buy Valve and Nintendo, and it's why Phil Spencer patented Gamer^TM stated that if they don't get an absurd, unobtainable amount of subscriptions to Gamepass by 2030 they'll just shut down Xbox altogether.

It's an idiotic fucking move, and we're all going to suffer if they succeed. Nothing about this is pro-consumer.
