System abuse will end the system.

This is the third month in a row where i've subscribed for like 20 days give or take on GP, cancelled and they're fine just giving me a full refund. I'm not going out of my way to get it. They just give me the option when I go to cancel the sub front and centre. They want me to do it so i'll keep doing it.

What's your experience with this? Do they just stop allowing it after so many months? Is Microsoft retarded? Have I been blessed by @adamsapple?

Just joking, please continue 😹
 
They offer it for all their products but depending on how many days you've had it they give a partial refund, at least on PC Gamepass they do. They give you the option to cancel and keep it until the next renewal period or you can immediately cancel and lose remaining access with a partial refund.

It's because MS isn't doing any of this gaming stuff for the money and they can count you as a user in whatever metric they're showing shareholders.

Of course they care about money. It's the same reason that all the Amazon Prime low cost deals for showtime or britbox went from 1 month to 2-3 months. With 1 month you could immediately log in and cancel as soon as you started the deal and it would cancel at the end of the month. With a 3 month deal you have to rememeber to cancel 2 months down the line to get the full 3 months cheap.
They are relying on a decent number of people just forgetting and then they got themselves a full price paying subscriber.
 
I got 1 month pc gamepass to play clair obscure and south of midnight. Started playing Doom And wasn't really feeling it. So I had 6 days left so thought ill cancel now so I don't forget. And yep they offered me a full refund so thought why not lol.

Is that how you save money for the sweet 5090?

I'll never understand this attitude from people who clearly have enough money when they spend on enthusiast level hardware.
 
OP chain returning Iphone to Amazon & getting his account closed. 👀

OP responsible for all the refurbished items you receive as new on every purchase you make 👍.

Gotta keep the subscribers however you can to justify its existence a bit longer to the shareholders.

This. The impact this has on a share price (and thus all the top execs money) is probably way larger than the pennies they spend because some nerds are using "hacks" for it. It's a blatant "creative use of game mechanics".

I thought Sony guys bought games but it turns out they are actually ripping studios off, through "life hacks"

For shame

Here the thing though.

I go into it fully willing to pay my $12 to play a game I'm not sure about like Oblivion or Doom. If Microsoft wants to make nothing off of me outside being a statistic to pad their bullshit numbers then who gives a fuck.

Microsoft is the one giving the money back and it's not really a hack at all. You are "cheating the system" you simply aren't letting your game pass renew.

When you have 2 days left in your month with no game to play and they give you two options
  • Continue using the service for the days remaining despite not having anything to actually use it for.
  • Cancel now and get your money back
Why in the world would you ever choose the first one?
 
Looking forward to the follow up "I lost my account but did nothing wrong post" from OP in a few months.

Gamepass subscribers aren't only too cheap to buy games, it appears they are too cheap to buy Gamepass as well!
 
People don't get it. This is clearly Phil Spencer's masterplan to win the console race.

>give Ass of Can Whooping Ass of Can Whooping free gamepass.
>@Ass of Can Whooping stops spending on Sony products because he's so busy making and cancelling subs.
>Sony goes bankrupt and Totoki performs honorable seppuku.

See? Perfectly executed.
