Subjectively. If you have the time to play everything you need that justifies the price. If you don't its not.

that Twitter handle is curse in SpanishBut he draws like a young child.
Personally I've played more games with my Gamefly rental than I have with Game Pass and it isn't really close.
We own nothing and we're happy about it.

Several notable Xbox influencers have publicly withdrawn their support for the brand, following media reports claiming that first-party Xbox games could soon start appearing on PlayStation.
Although not yet officially confirmed, the reports have led to a major backlash within the Xbox community, including from notable Xbox influencers with large followings, who are unhappy that games previously marketed as Xbox exclusives will be made available on other console platforms.
‘Timdog’, another notable Xbox influencer with 82,000 followers – including Spencer, Xbox’s marketing leads and the official Xbox account – made a more dramatic declaration on Monday, streaming a 7-hour Spaces audio discussion on X under the headline “I’m not an Xbox fanboy anymore”.
He later tweeted:
He added:
YouTuber Doc_Dark, a self-proclaimed “console war content creator”, posted a video in which he sang for three minutes about the situation.
Xbox influencer, KidSmoove, another X user followed by Xbox executives, changed his Twitter banner to a logo reading, “Fuck Xbox”.
Elsewhere, some social media users have posted tweets stating that they’re trading in their consoles, with one showing receipts proving they have already done it, despite the reports still being unconfirmed at the time of writing.
In a more disturbing turn unrelated to any of the influencers mentioned in this story, Xbox’s senior media manager shared an image showing a message in which an anonymous user wished him harm over the situation.
This is not only on the community side whomever, reports via MAGG Podcat says sources inside Xbox say , staff are dissatisfied with changes in their compensation structure, particularly the absence of sales bonuses under Xbox's ownership. Xbox does not disclose sales number. This discontent has led to leaks and a sense of dissatisfaction among the staff. Which is why the rumors leaked.

Exactly my thoughts. I understand they get paid from Xbox somehow but this is ridiculous.
They also get free hardware, games and GP subs.I actually don't think Microsoft cuts them checks, though I could be wrong.
I think they get paid in access, which helps grow their audience. The bigger their audience the more access they get. The more access they get the more beholden they are to Microsoft. The larger their audience get, the more money they make.
It's a pretty deep incentious circle that was tenuous in the best of times, but beyond perilous in the worst of times.
There is a reason most companies use celebrities to endorse their products and not the every day person. When things go left with celebrities, it's pretty easy to cut the cord. The celebrity doesn't really care about the product, and the only risk to the company is a scandal related to the celebrity, which can generally be handled by distancing yourself.
nah because of xboxExpectation:
XBOX IS DEAD! ITZ OVER!
Reality:
Microsoft gets even more richer with the move
is a masterpiece, I know
They do talk about that I believe revolving around that they (the influencers) should have known they are being manipulated and just go along with it. I.e., be an influencer and grow your audience and get exposure, but be full aware you're just a free mouthpiece that will be dropped on a dime.I may be off base here but do you think Colin is being a bit kind/tact by saying they were all manipulated? That there isn’t a possibility some would go along for their own benefit regardless?
Well yeah, that will probably happen. More avenues for revenue.Expectation:

How is that a lie, Game Pass remains the best deal in gaming.

It does only if you prioritise quantity over quality and video games is your only hobby (at which point you should do some retrospection).How is that a lie, Game Pass remains the best deal in gaming.
This is my thought process about it too. A while back, someone told me that it was justified by the then recent release of Vampire Survivors. I had to remind them that the game they were talking about is 5 dollars. It is nice to try a lot of indie games out without ever purchasing them, but even if you were to buy a lot of these games, you would probably end up spending a similar amount of money and at least you would still have them.It's only a good deal if you wanted to play a good number of those games on day 1. But so far I've only saved money by not subscribing to Game Pass but by buying the handful of games that looked interesting during a sale. The thing is that 90% of the games I'm interested in are not available on Game Pass. It simply doesn't make sense to spend 120 euro a year on a monthly "mystery package" filled with random games I may or (far more likely) may not like, especially when I'm already playing other games that aren't on Game Pass the vast majority of the time.
I don't mind, they don't go with me when I die.You don't own any of the games. It'll be a great deal if you could keep the game after having GP for over one year.
