I'm torn. Xbox game pass for PC is one of the greatest things to happen to gaming. Ps now let me play red dead 1 before #2 came out. EA access is great if you just want to play battlefield or Fifa for a month (those games don't typically last longer than that for me). But I also love my 500+ steam games. If these services keep getting better they'll definitely take over, though. Outer Worlds on Xbox pass comes to mind. You can beat that in a month for $1 right now and never think about paying retail price.
- corodra 7y agoOkay, but that's a little different. Stadia, you have to buy the game retail. Ps now (I have a ps4), 10 bucks a month to play how many different games when the hell ever I want. It totally works out for me because I normally don't care about most games after 10 hours of gameplay. I don't want to buy a game for $60 bucks and not actually have it. Generally, I don't buy a game until it's down to like $30, because I don't have to play anything immediately. At 32, I'm over the whole "ER MY GOD, I have to play this game right meow!"
- McTossOut 7y ago>"ER MY GOD, I have to play this game right meow!" It's a sad thought, but maybe games have gotten worse. The industry has been laser-focused on scale for basically 15 years. The success of Rez Infinite, Sonic Mania, and League speak to this, designs from when the industry was clever and lean, and not bloated, cash-hungry, and tool-bound.
- ragequitta 7y agoStadia Pro for $10 a month gets you a selection of games I believe. But it really is in it's infancy, and not very good. We'll just have to see if google throttles it before it can mature like most other things they do.
