No. It's the vocal few who make it an issue when ever it gets brought up. Most people have zero issues with the service and if they don't use the service, they could care less if someone enjoys talking about it. I mean, this is a video game forum after all, it's kind of what we do. 

That reminds me, we have a sermon this weekend at the House of Game Pass. Phil is going to be making a sacrifice for a glorious Halo launch. You should join, brother. 

He now, only Sony sacrifices goats to promote a new game :p

I just wonder how much it actually does for less mainstream games. It's like FS2020 is already forgotten again. The GOTY edition just came out with the first huge expansion to almost zero noise, 4 comments...

Sure the upcoming Halo release is taking all the attention away but still kinda disappointed how quickly FS2020 sank to the background after all the trouble Asobo and players went through with the XBox release.

It did bring some players back, on Steam peak of 14K concurrent players, up from 10K the 2 months before. Is there such a stat for the XBox ecosystem? I'm curious what the split is. There should be far more players on the XBox side with gamepass but I can't find any metrics.
I'm sure the unique player count is quite high, yet how many return and actually keep playing the game and bring in revenue on the marketplace.

Anyway, back to testing the Goty edition, DX12 isn't doing well so far, using a lot more VRAM and overall lower fps after the update. DX11 is definitely better for now but a bit more demanding on the CPU since the update.

You pretty much answered your own question. No offense to Flight Sim, but why would console players pick that over Halo and FH5 to play, along with AAA 3rd party games lol. Well anyways to answer your other question, Flight Sim is the 20th most popular game on Game Pass right now.
