I've thought about that too, but for the majority of gamepass's life span, it was a seperate subscription from live to buy. I more look at it as me buying some cheap live online through CD keys like I have since 360, and then getting gamepass for 6 years on top of that for 2 dollars. Basically getting free games including EA pass which is bundled into ultimate.But that 2 dollars doesn't cover the price of Xbox Live Gold so it isn't really just $2, right?
Yeah, but most "brand new $70" games are not on Game Pass. You tell your friend that and they go on Game Pass expecting to see Midnight Suns and they are going to be disappointed.
I'm not trying to downplay Game Pass here. Folks saying they are getting Vampire Survivors for "free" implies "included with the service" and that is fine. But going too far and embellishing what the service actually is doesn't make a lot of sense to me either.
These days, Microsoft does sell Ultimate at a higher price than live to bundle it. Getting game pass seperate is still 10 dollars a month.
