So in order to be a "true gamer"...I have to pay full price...for games I cannot even play?

Or is handing them your money early somehow going to prevent MTX and DLC?

Anyway it is different from a traditional "moneyhat" because unlike a "moneyhat" the game gets exposed to a broader audience via gamepass, and not just the existing fans.

Example, I played Nier Automata on gamepass and loved it.  So in return I bought Nier Replicant at full price physical.  That exposure got SE a sale from me, thanks to gamepass.

Did I say that? I just like to support devs I like. That doesn't make me a true gamer whatever that means. It won't prevent MTX nor DLC, and I won't buy those anyway. It does add to initial sales and revenue.

What are the existing fans for a new title, by a new developer, promoted by the 'money hat' ?

There are many ways to get interested in a game, but true gamepass is one of those ways. It's just that you need to pay a subscription for that. Why didn't you buy Nier Automata since you loved it?
