I could see this argument for Humble Choice subscription where you get 12 games each month, without any possibility to forecast a month in advance.he viewed services like game pass and PS now as services for people who can't afford to play what they want, so they let a rental service decide what they should play even if they are not that interested in playing it.
I laughed.
Check steamAnyone got a spare 'Horror' card please? I have a 'Space' card I want to trade for it please.
Well game pass decided that you should play one of the 274 games. And your choices get's edited every month.I could see this argument for Humble Choice subscription where you get 12 games each month, without any possibility to forecast two months in advance.
However, this kind of statement about GamePass is ridiculous. There are 274 games on PC Game Pass:
Nobody is deciding for me what I should play. I get an offer equivalent to 10% of my Steam library, with recent games, many of which highly appraised and which I want to play.Xbox Game Pass Games Library | Xbox

True, and it is an okay deal: Microsoft shows ~300 recent games (which is a huge amount for most PC gamers), and I get to play as many as I want, possibly 0. The catalogue is so huge that the curation is barely felt.Well game pass decided that you should play one of the 274 games. And your choices get's edited every month.
Good for you (im serious, no joke, good for you, I wish I was the same). I do think many sees it different though, considering how well game pass games are selling on Steam.True, and it is an okay deal: Microsoft shows ~300 recent games (which is a huge amount for most PC gamers), and I get to play as many as I want, possibly 0.

That is a different issue: everyone knows the Windows Store is crap (when it works), and Steam's features and convenience are worth a premium to some.Good for you (im serious, no joke, good for you, I wish I was the same).

It's not just that. I think a lot of PC people prefers ownership over renting. Linus and Luke talked about it on a podcast (Linus Tech Tips), they don't have game pass because if they did, they would have to schedule gaming, which is not what they want, they don't want to schedule fun.That is a different issue: everyone knows the Windows Store is crap, and Steam's features and convenience are worth a premium to some.
True as well.It's not just that. I think a lot of PC people prefers ownership over renting. Linus and Luke talked about it on a podcast (Linus Tech Tips), they don't have game pass because if they did, they would have to schedule gaming, which is not what they want, they don't want to schedule fun.
Well that is also the part I disagreed with, like I stated in my post.True as well. That being said, we are far from the first argument about GamePass players being forced to play less interesting games offered by Microsoft, because they cannot afford the interesting ones.
You should see GamePass as a demo service (as you usually do). There is no need to rush the game. The only important thing to do is to back-up your save file.It first happened with Kingdom Hearts 3. I did not know when it was about to leave, I was not in the mood to play it, but I still wanted to, so I forced myself through the game. It was a fun game and I was going to play it, but I was not in the mood for it at that time, but game pass pushed me to play it. It did not feel good at all.
I do see it as demo service until it lapses next year, but the tecnical issues that are opooing up are not making it easy.You should see GamePass as a demo service (as you usually do). If the game leaves GamePass before you finish it, then it is no big deal, and you can get it for cheap in a bundle or during Steam's sales (or Microsoft Store's sales ). There is no need to rush the game. The only important thing to do is to back-up your save file. However, if you finish the game before it leaves the service (which realistically often happens, without forcing yourself to play), then it is all good.
GTA ONLINE IS GOOD.Is GTA Online good ? Is Red Dead Online Good ? Are they full of cheaters ?
I know there's a b/s/t thread, but i have a sneaking feeling nobody looks @ it
Do you still need it?Anyone got a spare 'Horror' card please? I have a 'Space' card I want to trade for it please.
love the new avatarTanuki Sunset feels like it misses something to be great but at least it has good vibes and a rad raccoon
This stuff is so anecdotal though, and it’s enthusiast demographics (like PC gaming) that tend to prefer ownership (see vinyl and blu ray collectors), but it doesn’t reflect wider patterns. What someone like Linus does individually doesn’t really mean anything on this topic. Plus the success of Spotify and Netflix etc proves most people don’t really give a shit tbh, which I think is a little sad admittedly.It's not just that.

Consuming music and movies are totally different from consuming video games.This stuff is so anecdotal though, and enthusiast demographics tend to prefer ownership. But the success of Spotify and Netflix etc proves most people don’t really give a shit tbh, which I think is a little sad admittedly.
on the other handI still find it funny when anyone brings up the ownership equation but buys digitally.
It may be the norm of course on pc, and increasingly on consoles, but they’re all just licenses, none of it is owned anyway. The ownership debate is one that is a dead man walking
[UWSL]But it’s not at all.[/UWSL]Consuming music and movies are totally different from consuming video games.
[UWSL]Yeah it’s great that I and anyone can access old stuff from years past, but at least renting/subscriptions doesn’t pretend I actually own something, plus the value reflects that too. I find it hard to say that it is better in such a straightforward manner, it’s just different.[/UWSL]I know you only buy a license when you buy digital, but it is still far better than renting.
I still can play the games I bought on Steam 9 years ago.
There's a huge practical difference though in ownership and control between a digital PC copy and a streamed game.on the other hand I still find it funny when anyone brings up the ownership equation but is buying digitally.
It may be the norm of course on pc, and increasingly so now on consoles, but they’re all just licenses at the end of the day, none of it is owned anyway.
I completely agree but my point was more on subscriptions vs buying a la carte rather than streamingThere's a huge practical difference though in ownership and control between a digital PC copy and a streamed game.
I absolutely agree. I use Spotify and also collect vinyl. Similarly I collect some Blu-ray and use Netflix.Buying and streaming can coexist nicely. Like when I had a sound setup I used explore music on streaming and then get the vinyl of albums I liked.
it is little different with movies and games, since I don’t rewatch or replay. But still, I buy games on steam and play on game pass.
I don't think that is a good argument. Unless this hypothetical game has been delisted, I could:I know you only buy a license when you buy digital, but it is still far better than renting.

Let us imagine for a moment that Valve offers a subscription service, similar to Microsoft's GamePass except that it uses Steam's back-end. Most of the issues about GamePass would vanish. An argument would remain against the subscription model, and that may be the only one: some people feel a psychological burden and a urge to play, because the games could be removed from the subscription service (even though they are still available for purchase elsewhere). I can understand that some people will always be against renting their games because of what they see as a threat to their peace of mind.It’s all up to the consumer on what they want at the end of the day, and it’s great to have options, but I’m getting more than a little tired repeatedly seeing online from so many folk that game pass, ps now etc are essentially “not the right way of doing things” when I can confidently say the same people use Netflix
If this hypothetical service let you play games on Steam without having to rush due to expiring off the service, I'd think it was a great deal. Modding, no Windows crap, and play when I want, even taking long breaks? Sign me up. Nvidia's service probably comes the closest.Let us imagine for a moment that Valve offers a subscription service, similar to Microsoft's GamePass except that it uses Steam's back-end.

These people should see subscription models as content-unlimited time-limited demos, which is pretty okay if the time limit is 6 months.
If I don't finish a game in 6 months, chance is that it would clog my backlog anyway. And then there is backlog anxiety for some.
