The only thing you've shown any real example of in this thread is how far out of one's way somebody can go to be condescending towards anyone who disagrees with them.
You somehow managed to go from, and you'll excuse me for paraphrasing, "hey man...can't deny that people who play games via GP are more casual gamers than us real gamers who collect all the things," to "wow....can't believe you people with GP find the time to play SOOO many games! How is it even possible to be such a hardcore gamer that you can get ALL that value out of GP, and still find time to do literally anything else?!" That after coming into this thread in the first place, nose up, going "aw-shucks, it really sucks how it feels like there's all this underlying malice behind this discussion." The fucking irony.
You're not trying to have an intellectually honest argument with anyone about the merits of a subscription service. If you gotta argue up is down, down is up, and hot is cold...you don't care. You're just looking for whatever angle seems convenient to you at any given moment to have a dig at someone who has a different point of view from your own. Get over yourself. At the very least, consider doing yourself the favor of knowing when to quit and exit stage left.

I thought this was a thread about opinions about game pass, not a thread on praising game pass. Any criticism of game pass on its long term outlook and possible effects on future games seem to be very unwanted here, filed under, you simply don't like it. Which happens to be an opinion as well.
Apparently many people like the 'original' content Netflix puts out. There are a few good ones, but imo, most of it is very meh. Definitely not as good as stuff like House, The Mentalist and Pushing Daisies, Boston Legal, Better Late than Never, Dirty Jobs. Mr Robot were.
Anyway, opinions are clear by now, time will tell how it all pans out.

The thread is actually not about Game Pass specifically, but it's been unable to move beyond talking about it because of a select few who want to drive a particular narrative about it because the service offends them greatly for some reason.
There's many other gaming subscription services such as Nintendo Switch Online, PS Now, EA Play, Stadia, etc. that could be discussed but we haven't quite been able to get over portraying Microsoft as the evil corporation trying to create a population of non-"true gamers" that have too many games to play to be functional adults with social lives.
