Hating Game Pass Makes You Look Foolish

Why on Earth are we comparing Game Pass to the culinary industry

Your weak understanding of it is getting worse as you try to sweep it under. Is an explanation to a misunderstanding now to be known as stretching it, and not further explanation in the form of a reply? So many reaching for the moon in that case.

Do fancy restaurants market themselves as the best deal in the industry? All you can eat for as cheap as possible? Do they only offer typical utensils for consuming that food and not the extra's that add to the experience? Do they change their menu (asap) in a response to compete with fast food directly?

Who offers the "Dollar Menu"?

This is a silly comparison to begin with but I also think you're both arguing based on different thoughts of what you consider to be fast food/high end.

Ludicrous seems to be arguing based on the variety of content + quality, essentially, Game Pass offers a 'quick cheap meal' (or w/e) but also offers 'higher end meals' too (essentially offers small and big budget titles of various quality). While it seems like you're basing a lot of your argument purely on the price of the service.

I don't think comparing the two is that useful, these are two vastly different markets, if we were going to use the 'price' argument than I would honestly say Gaming overall is closer to a 'fast food' joint than a high end restaurant, heck, a Chinese from a random fast food place alone can cost me up to £30-£40 and food prices don't plummet weeks/months after launch, Lol.

No I'm comparing it on different levels, like quality ratio, price, general customers, along with other 'coincidental' similarities. I'm basically being told that's incorrect because GP is chalk full of expensive blockbusters that are simply all being sold dirt cheap for eternity.

The problem is that my initial post was somehow way too controversial in reference to the thread topic.

I wouldn't say hating fast food makes anyone look foolish.

Some would rather, or prefer to sit down and eat at a more palatable or fancy restaurant chain and spend a little extra if they have to for that. This tends to limit your consumption to a degree however. Some have the means to gorge though.
Others are fine, or prefer sitting down or driving thru a fast food chain, since it's cheap, easy, and quick. Which also tends to mean you can eat more if you like due to the low cost and less filling meals. Some don't have the means though, so a number one, will have to suffice.

Both have their upsides and downsides. I think very few would really want to live in a world with only one or the other. Each has their place in their own way. Why not have it your way?

One might ask why would you ever compare Netflix to gaming? Why would anyone ever attempt to merge them like there could be some common ground? The idea is clearly ridiculous so there's no reason for anyone to pay it any attention. To do so would be ludicrously useless.
