So all the people saying it saves them lots of money, including me, are wrong? Where are the people that spend more money after getting subscriptions?

"GP saves me so much money in buying games that I end up expending more money buying games"... yes both don't add up.

The idea is that since you are not having to spend 60-70 dollars per game, some people (not me necessarily) will be more willing to buy DLC packs and micro transactions because of that fact.  Since gamepass is giving those people 400+ games to potentially spend across, it is possible that the overall investment on DLC among several games will add up to spending more overall than they would have if they had to buy each game individually while ignoring DLC.

It has nothing to do with the value of the service or how much you save, but more to do with the spending habbits and mentality of the gamer in question.  It adds up just fine.
