Nah dog. I have a new Banging PC, PS5, and a switch. And no one I know uses GAmepass on PC. And even with GAMEPASS being much better on Xbox consoles with that is offered, outside of a few titles like recently hearing Gungrave Gore, and Warhammer titles is really the only thing that I'm somewhat interested in thats coming this year.
I mean people get excited for halo, gears, forza, fable, avowed ect. Only super hardcore people actually specifically follow certain studios like Obsidian who look forward to pentiment, and shit like that.
Pentiment is a fan type of title, as in it has a lot of the cheeky stuff people have come to love from Obsidian me included. 2022 has been literally barren for anything big and exciting on gamepass.
There is no denying that. Now if you are into smaller titles, and like more AA style of games like Plagues tale, like Atomic hear, like scorn, then yea gamepass looks like theres some things to be excited for.
But the average person/family is not paying $300-500 to focus on playing those. They might try them which I think is what Microsoft wants out of how they are treating their curation.
They want people to get into other things besides big, expensive games because if they dont, then all people will do is what currently is happening to the subscriptions services for entertainment. They will sub for a couple months when they know when big content drops, then fall off once there's nothing there.
Thats what has been happening post Covid. People are getting more selective in what they are watching/sub to.
Thats going to be Microsfot's hardest thing to combat, and we are seeing it currently with how they need Activision/Blizzard to go through because they need big bombastic content on the regular in their service to keep people interested long term.
As it stand now, Gamepass in terms of the amount of games, and value is great. But in terms of getting people who enjoy big bombastic games it aint cutting the cheese.
