    Okay. So you have to play 6 games instead of 5. Seems like the majority here are focusing in on details that don’t have a large effect on the math.

    It could be $500 and it’s 7 games to break even.

      How many times do you need to be told, you don’t buy games on PC for full price when on a budget you wait for sales that will frequently get you down to 60% of the price if not even lower for a couple year old game. Go for more indie titles and you have an exponentially larger pool of games to pick from than on game pass. Then you are not having your library pulled out from under you when Microsoft decides not to support a title anymore.

      I’m a major advocate for GPU, and I’m currently subscribed, but even I wouldn’t say it’s a better cost ratio than Steam games.

      You’d be winning more people to your argument if you at least admitted and apologized for the things you got blatantly wrong.
