Why?

I like to own my games so paying for a subscription fee really seems like a big downside for me. And it might give other companies to make worse subscription services in the future. (Like paying online features for consoles) just doesn't set right with me

but can't you like..... just buy those games anyways? isn't the whole point of the pass for people who don't want to buy full games?

That's why I don't use it? If you want to use it than go ahead. I think is a dumb service

why do you think it's a dumb service? it offers people access to all those games for a fraction of the price.

Because you don't own your games. And it's a subscription service. I don't like subscriptions because it doesn't feel like you own it. That's why it's dumb to me

yea that's not the point of the pass, yes it is a subscription service, just like any other subscription program. if you don't like subscriptions then that's just you're personal preference, that doesn't mean the service is dumb. It's not suppose to cater to just you.

literally never said it's supposed to cater to just me. I said multiple times if people enjoy gamepass great! Good for you! I Gamepass its dumb TO ME And I also said multiple times I don't like subscriptions. So yes it is a personal preference that's the point of this post to share unpopular 'gaming hills to die on'.

then it's not even a controversial opinion or let alone a "gaming hill to die on", you're literally not the intended user but acknowledge that it is a good service for it's intended purpose.

Think of it like opportunity cost rather. It's the same as renting a game from the video store just it's digital and you don't gotta call to ask if they have Mario rpg there. I don't think streaming services from TV is bad and in fact they seem pretty competitive so I don't suspect companies wil make some terrible streaming service personally. If you only play 1-3 games at a time then the service def isn't for that person.
