Support NeoGAF

[acm2000]

quite the opposite, grabbed 2 x 3 month codes which works out £11 a month

 

[poodaddy]

Yep. Had Ultimate, on its normal price, cancelled it.

Exactly this for me too. Had ultimate for a pretty good while, and I got my use out of it for sure, but I don't see a reason to use the service anymore.

 

[tmlDan]

i found i had no interest in most of the games on it and if i did i would just outright buy them....i had an ongoing sub until they announced the price increase and i couldnt support that so i unsubbed.

Games that im on the fence about like Outer Worlds 2 are just not enough for me to pay and COD has become a stale cracker so i happily skip them

 

[Krathoon]

I do plan to reduce my gamepass sub. I have to see if I can still stream the 360 games if I reduce it.

Yeah. I reduced it to Premium. Ultimate is a rip off. Too expensive.

 

[freshyk]

Yes cancel during my 2 years of built up $1 subscription. I just never played it.

 

[Topher]

My sub runs out in June and then I'm done. Never paid a dime for it. Only used MS Rewards. But that's jacked up now so no point.

 

[El Hee-Ho]

Cancelled when the Obsidian dude did a whoopsie with all that racist stuff.

Not missing it, nowadays I mostly play old games and those are cheap as fuck anyway.

 

[Mengy]

I never subbed to Gamepass in the first place.

Instead I buy most games many years after they release, when they are on deep Steam sales for 50% off or deeper. I own a mid tier PC and purposefully stay behind the release curve because I feel its a far more value oriented way of gaming.

The result is I spend less money per year buying (and owning) games than what one full year of Gamepass now costs. Gamepass just isn't a good value to me.

 

[SaturnSaturn]

Yes, i also sold my Series X and bought a One X (for backwards compatible games in 4k) for a fraction of what i got for my Series.

No way in hell i am paying over 30 bucks a month when i play maybe 2- 3 games a year.

Was subbed for 3 years using the xbox live gold trick, runs out now next month.

Done with Microsoft.

Got to play Persona 3 Reloaded, Ninja Gaiden 4, Oblivion Remastered, lots of cool games and found many indies that i never would have touched otherwise. PSO2 got brought over to the west in the One X days, such a fun time!
Play anywhere initative was also realy great with cross progression when i was traveling. So not just negative things to say, but MS is done, Xbox is done. No reason to invest a penny more into the ecosystem.

 

[DarkShadowXI]

Yeah I cancelled my PC Game Pass this month. I also sold my Xbox Series X last year.

I'd rather buy games at this point. I'm trying to hold off for sales now, too. I tend to appreciate them more when I buy them, since I'm financially invested.

We also just cancelled all of our streaming services, except for YouTube TV and YouTube Premium.

Same thought: we'd rather buy movies or series we care about. Or if we REALLY want to watch something, we'll subscribe for a month and cancel.

 

[applesaucejaxon]

My subscription ends at the end of January. I've had a sub for years -thanks $1 upgrade - and it's just not worth it for me. Avowed and COD are the only things I ever really used in all that time. That's not even a plus for me now, because I did not enjoy BO7 when I tried it this weekend.

 

[RAY6077]

yeah and i wont return until they lower the price again or give way better value

 

[ReBurn]

I won't be paying for it once my sub ends in 2028. I had been using MS rewards for it but now that there's no incentive to do that I'll just let it go. $30 per month for ultimate is just too expensive for how I play now.

 

[falling into hell]

No I never had one.

 

[rodrigolfp]

I did as soon as I saw it would be almost 2x the $.

 

[ahtlas7]

Yup, about 5 years ago.

 

[analog_future]

Yep.

Paid for 3 years worth back in October of 2022. Did not bother to renew it this/last month.

 

[Inuteu]

I have untill march for the normal price

After that Im out

 

[Magic Carpet]

Not yet, I still need to complete Outerworlds 2 and a few of these little games they put up.
I got the bill for the price increase a few days ago.
PC Gamepass
October $12.98
November $17.85

That's too much. I think I'm going to pull the plug 1/2026.
I've been with Gamepass since the very start. Did several years of the Gold 1$ Conversion for Ultimate before eventually paying monthly when the Series X launched.
in 2023 I sold the Series X and bought a new PC and switched to PC Gamepass, as it was cheaper and had most all the games. But this new price increase I think I'm done.

I probaly played way more games than most people on this forum because of Gamepass. Many really good games and many decent games and yes, lots of time waste games.
If you never had Gamepass you missed out. A few games I liked so much I bought them before they left Gamepass. Was the best way to try before you buy.

If they had kept the PC Gamepass price where it was, I probably would have stayed, but I have other monthly bills that have also gone up.

Bye Gamepass, It was fun.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Yes, but I'd been on and off GP for a while anyway. I had just resubbed to play Silksong and NG4, and like a week later they announced the price hike. NG4 isn't my kind of game anyway, so I quit it and unsubbed.
Shame, because for me GP was never about the Halos and the CODs. It was about some not-so-big games, and for trying out all those smaller games that I don't want to risk €15 on. And it was really great for that.

 

[poppabk]

Not yet but I will probably cancel my PC gamepass for a decent chunk of time fairly soon.

 

[Stafford]

I think me and my bro still have until next year or even 2027 and then we'll just go for it again. When you pay 50/50 it's still a very good deal. Had this not been possible i very likely would have only subbed to GP now and then when dope shit is dropped on it.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Is Game Pass Dead?
Was chorizoPicozo right?
