Currently the reason I like Game Pass is they have inadvertently re-opened the doors for “try before you buy” in a weird way. I’m also experiencing a bunch of games I probably wouldn’t have otherwise played. That being said, enshitification is inevitable, so this really awesome period for gamepass I’m sure will end at some point.
They recently increased how much work it takes to get Microsoft rewards points (the way I’ve been able to play Game Pass without paying for it for years now), which I feel like is the first sign that change is coming.
