I’m imagining anti Microsoft things?

Tell me: what is the monthly subscription price of gamepass? What was it a year ago? 2 years ago? How’s their game library?

I must’ve imagined all that fuckery they did to that service. Surely they would never have done anything like that to that digital asset policy you love so much. We can trust them.

I’ll try to make it clearer for you.

Microsoft made a plan. Great. Anybody can ‘make’ a plan and that plan could sound amazing to some people.

You are nostalgizing the ideal parts of their plan without having to see it play out. How would sharing have really worked? Would the disc be tied to your account forever? Would your friend be able to install from it?

And for sake of argument let’s say Microsoft executed on this best plan ever. Fast forward 10 years and they are looking for more profits somewhere. What’s stopping them from changing the terms of their plan? Pretty sure the TOS you click OK to when installing the game says it lets them alter things as they fit.

You are ignoring the fact that these plans were made over a decade ago. You really expect MS to keep their promise when after watching Sony do this?
