I’ve always wondered why do people have an issue with Xbox Gamepass and other services like PlayStation Now (I mentioned PlayStation because some have issues with that but that’s a different topic). I don’t understand why people have an issue with the services, the way I see it if people are having issues with it I would look at major developers and indie developers, if I don’t see major backlash against Xbox Gamepass (and other services) then I think Xbox Gamepass is working fine.....for now. For me it’s an amazing service to have especially when money is tight....now you might not be able to play the latest biggest games but it’s a service that can give you options to play with.
Again the way I see it if I don’t see major developers along with indie developers complaining enough about where the backlash out of everything gaming plays out then why just why do some gamers find an issue with these services? You are not being held a gun to your head and forced to use it and games are still being sold on storefronts and that’s not something that will go away for at least 2 to 3 generations long and long time in gaming years.
So my question to you guys are do you have an issue with it and why?
First off, I think it's a disservice to GamePass mentioning PSNow in the same breath;-)
With streaming services I think the meta's are right, it's too immature. Yet.
Still, everyone knows it's the inevitable future. I guess the human spieces need something to cling on to (hence religion etc) But some of that is lost if a controller is all you are left with, in spite of all your fanboy-ism. And what do we humans fear most of all? (Ok, maybe third to public speaking and death itself (ref. Seinfeld)) Change.
We all hate giving up control, and I guess most ppl think like that regarding streaming services. (rightly so)
Regarding game pass, I think some are worried it will turn games into "lollipops". Although I must praise the service, I also feel the "unease" of it all.
No matter how you see it we are on this journey together, we can only vote with our wallet's and hope for the best.
