I have also wondered for awhile, what kind of impact GamePass has both on expectations for games, and how people feel about them after playing them. I paid $50 for the UE of State of Decay 2, so it doesn't apply, but how would I feel about CD3 if I paid $65 for it as opposed to paying $10 a month and getting it on the service? Maybe this helps explain some of the gap between how the general gamer attitude about Crackdown 3 is as opposed to reviewers.
