Nobody wants to pay more for anything and yeah it is weird to pay $10 for a ps5 version when the content is the same as the $59 ps4 version. Truth is, we all want the latest blockbusters for $1 but when a deal seems to good to be true, it usually is.

The main concern gamers should have with things like game pass is that it could potentially mark the end of AAA story driven games. Loads of major 3rd party devs have spoken out about this and said it makes no business sense to put their main line games D1 on game pass. Heck even for smaller scale games it seems to be commercial suicide. Octopath 1 was on Game Pass and now part 2 is skipping Xbox altogether. Also the devs behind Crusaders King 3 have now decided to withdraw its involvement in Game Pass for a reason: https://www.purexbox.com/news/2022/08/paradox-cancels-xbox-game-pass-launch-after-discussion-with-partners

Companies are not forced to do anything. Its their choice if they want to be day 1 on GP. If they want to make SP type games than they can. I don't understand why people believe devs have their hands tied. 1st Party i can understand but even then, StarField is proving these speculation wrong. 3rd Party Devs can do what ever they like, weather GP exists or not, its their choice.
