    I was one of those people. Yes I still have some remaining time left on my Gamepass Ultimate subscription, but I purchased a mid-level gaming pc and a bunch of Steam games. It’ll be cheaper in the long run for me.

    I’ve pulled off the Xbox band-aid and even reverting the price hike won’t persuade me to go back. I’ve been a continuous subscriber since mid-360 days.

      Welcome friend, even midlevel will open you to a world of gaming.

      Remember the order of purchases should be GOG (DRM free games), then Steam, then shittier platforms.

      Older games especially, things like the older fallout games you’ll be able to pick up for <$5 and play for 60+ hours

      Same and never going back. They had me since the OG Xbox. Microsoft is an absolute shit show of an anti-consumer company.
