No my friend, GP subs ate good the whole year.
Just 1 key title out of the dozen or so each month below. Not even including MW3, Diablo IV and the many other day 1 releases.
Palworld in January
Persona 3 Reload in February
MLB The Show in March
Jedi Survivor in April
Hellblade 2 in May
Octopath Travelrer 2 in June
Path of Goddess in July
Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy in August
Age of Mythology in September
Black Ops 6 in October
STALKER 2 in November
Indiana Jones in December
Relative to what it costs, the first 9 months were shit IMO.

Cool so the vast majority of your games are on disc?
I have a fairly extensive disc collection of games as well

And the market doesn't give a shit about it. The Xbox Stank is real.
The shareholders are checking in to the thread already....
Who gives a shit if trillion-dollar companies are making a profit or not.

I do. That's why I asked.
It's been really interested to watch the evolution of the Xbox brand over the last 12 years, and I'll continue to follow it.
I'm pretty sure havoc00 is kidsmoove's neogaf account or he's working overtime promoting it:

I don't even get the point of constantly shoving it down our throats here, this forum probably gets at most a few thousand active users. MS isn't going to get their pie-in-the-sky 100 million subscribers even if the entire population of GAF ran out and bought an Xbox and signed up for Gamepass tomorrow

How "bigly" it delivered is going to vary from person to person. I spent more time going after rewards points than anything else in 2024. Indiana Jones is really the first game that I felt made the service really good. If I were actually paying cash rather than points for Game Pass then I would have bought two months worth for Indiana Jones and maybe Call of Duty (campaign). I would have passed completely on Hellblade 2 and the rest.
But then if you look at the Xbox Year in Review thread, it is pretty easy to spot the folks that benefitted from GP.

You chose to enter this thread and make this post. No one asked you to feel victimized by the discussion going on here, lol.

Like I said on the last post, the amount and variety was good enough that one could very easily just play stuff on the service through the year and be happy.
2024 was probably one of the best years for the service since its inception, IMO.

^^^^ this so much
It's never good enough for peeps in here, complaining is a prerequisite for being a part of Gaf community.

I'm happy for you all. No, I am. You shouldn't be so quick to think that Sony fans would be upset that you got a win with Indiana Jones and an, ahem, above average gamepass year.
Afterall, more power to you. Why shouldn't our fellow gamers get these games at a steal?
I do question sustainability considering how few people will ever actually buy these games; considering how much they probably cost, but good on you. You got a steal.

That's a pretty good list! Lots of stuff i'm excited for in there. Will probably get a few of them on Steam, but will also definitly play a few of them on PC Game Pass for sure.
Although I hate the Game Pass app. Always some issues with it.

Nope. Not for me. Like I said, it is going to vary from person to person. I played a ton of games this year and most were not on Game Pass. I would not "be happy" if I was limited to that selection.

Well it take a long time for this type of thread to appear here...
It delivered few good games and almost nothing from top50 of 2024(indy and persona).
just to put in context: https://opencritic.com/browse/all/2024/score

I mean, I imagine most keep their house warm with an energy source that is delivered to them. Not many people are making their own electricity or gas.

You get 10% off any game you purchase. It's not always about staying subscribed, GP is great for just trying out games before you buy them or finding something you like that you never would have bought to begin with. I've found games now in my top 5 & support the hell out of em/owned.
Microsoft pays me.

Activates mine to get some cod. Now cancelled again. I have come to the conclusion that Inorefer to buy the games I actually want to play instead of testing what happens to be available.

the two are not mutually exclusive
I use gamepass to play games day 1 for cheap, and then buy them if I like them when they are much cheaper later

I paid good money for this Dynex!
In the aggregate, it's a good service for a lot of people and MS has definitely invested a lot into offering a good selection.
I've never subscribed, nor will I, because I'm one of those luddites that likes owning shit.

Atlas Fallen
Lords of the Fallen
Flintlock: Siege of Dawn
Were all great playthroughs for me. GP is too expensive now though. It's better to just buy the game instead of renting it.

"One game reviewed well"? That's like a sudoku with too few clues...
Do you mean Palworld? Or Bloodstained? Or Dead Island 2? Or Or Boltgun? Or Diablo IV? Or Jedi Survivor? Or Octopath Traveller 2? Or Mafia Definitive Edition? Or AOM: Retold? Or BLOPS6? Or Aliens Dark Descent? Or STALKER 2? Or Indiana Jones?
Those are the ones I've played, I'm sure there's more - did I pick it already? Can I buy a vowel?
