The vast majority of people buy a game, play it a few weeks, and then it sits forever - even if they could trade it in for a few bucks.
Lamepass should have been much closer to "buy a new release, get a month of gamepass games for free" or something.
- Dylan16807 4mo agoThe kind of person that actually cancels gamepass within a month is the kind of person to actually trade in the game. And with an efficient trading market they'd get more than a few bucks so early on.
- bombcar 4mo agoTrue, they set themselves up for "the only people who subscribe are those who use/abuse the subscription" - which is a recipe for failure.
- tonyhart7 4mo agoby that logic then every subscription is a dud since they could just use heavily in few months and cancel for the rest of the year but that's not happen in reality, people forgot to cancel
- ErneX 4mo agoNot budget constrained gamers, which there are a lot of.
- robertlagrant 4mo agoI see what you mean, but I think gamers on a budget will cancel. Other gamers would've paid full price for 12 games and instead paid $15 each for 12 games.
- reassess_blind 4mo agoNot necessarily. I was never the type to trade in physical games, but recently for Forza 6 I could either pay $99AUD to "own" the game, or buy one month of the PC game pass for $15AUD. An obvious choice. The friend I played the game with did the same. Honestly, if they didn't include Forza 6 in Game Pass we both would've purchased it full price.
