Value is getting more for the money you pay, at least that’s the definition I go by. I guess you going by the definition that if you spend enough hours playing a game there’s value in that as well, bang for buck if you spend 100 hours for $60. While true, I got that same experience playing certain GP games as well. You right, the term is very subjective. |
But it IS value to those who either want physical copies or want to own the game even if they stop paying for GamePass.
Sure, GamePass is a good deal, but it's also a commitment. Either you keep paying or you lose your games. If I pay for Ghost of Tsushima, I pay for it once and I have it forever (virtually forever, of course. Discs do eventually break and digital versions might not always be available, but functionally it's forever.) Between the various factors and the whole 'commitment' element, there are lots of reasons why GamePass isn't as gangbusters as some people think.
Personally, I don't even BORROW games from friends because the idea of not playing games on my own time at my own leisure gives me anxiety. I know I'm in the minority here, but that's one of the reasons I don't play online games, will never pay a subscription for a game, avoid gamepass, and will not get involved in any 'games as a live service' game.
