Microsoft has changed its popular £1/$1 monthly trial offer for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC, to now only grant…

Earlier in the year they removed the trial offer. Now it’s returned, but worse than before.

    I’ve avoided the game pass, even though it’s only a dollar a month. I knew it was just an enticement to get their world garden to be great and then they would turn into Microsoft and be sucky.

    I’d rather stay with steam who’s never treated me poorly.

      I had no problem using it, but now that they’re cutting the value before they even acquire Call of Duty and put it on the service, I cancelled and switched to PS+ Premium. If there’s ever a game I really want to play, I’ve found that I can set up the auto-renew Microsoft Rewards claim for PC Gamepass and it’s very easily sustainable. If I do nothing but the daily Edge/Bing searches, I reach the required point value for one month in something like 25 days. Fuck paying for Gamepass, the enshittification has started.

        Steam never forces exclusives. Steam you have the game forever. Microsoft has a extensive track record of embrace extend extinguish
