I sure thse 2 games just exude quality and has to be why they dint even chart upon release and where mentioned for the wekend they launched. Now youre gona tell me ori is also AAA hundred million dev cost franchise. 

To be fair, if you are satisfied with those types of games then for you gamepass might actually be worth it. I myself wont bother with a game that can be played on my phone and thus think paying $120 a year for that level of quality is not worth it. 

Just wondering, so what motivates your decision is not the quality of the game but how much money was spent making it.  So if there were hundreds of games of the same quality as Ori, Psychonauts with lower budgets, you would dismiss that service but be content with a service that gives you Marvel Avengers of that quality.  As long as the budget of the games is high, who cares about the quality.  Well, to each their own.

Money is not a defining farctor for quality, is a big contributor but not the only one. Just look at nintendo as they spend the least out of any dev and make some of the best games each gen. Look at ninja theory with hellblade wich gave ther big publishers a run for their money back when it launch. Kenna just recently. Only thing a big budget will help with is that a 1000 dev team will have a better chance at impressing people than a 50 dev team. That small team can still kick some ass given the time and if they have the passion for the ip like they did for hellbalde. And on the other side you can spen all the money you want and switch teams and add devs and delay the product all you want and still have a crackdown on your hands. Money was not the issue there. just like avengers. I would say the issue with avengers was the service route they went. They could have made a simple story game and coast of the name recognition but they decided to go the service rout and cut all the content so they can drip feed you to keep you hoocked and paying. Just like MS is doing to halo.
