    Idunno. Even as a subscriber to game pass, it still kind of worries me that we’re speeding towards “you’ll own nothing and be happy” territory with arms wide open. Of course you can still buy the games on game pass, but how long until you can’t?

      As long as games arent gamepass exclusive, and direct game sales stay consistent, I think we are largely safe.

      But Im not exactly sleeping with both eyes closed, so to speak.

      I think you have something there.

      All the users that bought videos on Funimation, just to lose it all since they are shutting down.

        Yeah, and I’m not blind to the fact that I’m falling for the same trap by “buying” games from the online store. Part of the reason that I’m pro piracy is because I have a series S, and am incapable of keeping my own copies of the games that I “own”

          I mean they did herd everyone into this situation, and there’s nothing we can do about it. I was fine with just paying for XBox Live, which allowed me to play online with my friends. I don’t really give a shit about gamepass, and find this to be just corporate bullshit where they get everyone in the same line and then stand around bragging about how long the new line is…
