I Don't Think Xbox Is Doing Too Well...

- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at what appears to be an increase to Game Pass from one of the largest companies in the world. The streaming market has been inflating in the last couple years and specifically with Game Pass with day one releases being locked behind higher tiers it makes me wonder just how well the service is doing and if Microsoft could have potentially lied in their legal filings. Thanks for watching!

another billion dollar company complaining about inflation
Try trillion. Microsoft is a trillion dollar mega corporation. It's not inflation, that ship has sailed. It's greedflation, and people need to wake up to that fact.
You mean Trillion dollar company
I read this as: "another billion dollar company causing inflation"

FR, Services like Xbox live were around, even when the 360 came out....and servers don't cost shit
THE FOG IS COMING
Why buy an xbox. Play steam instead.
if they where most mmos like WOW and eve would have died a very long time ago but they keep going so thats how most mmos need to do to pay the server bills. how else does eve online stay aflot thsie days ruing servers cost alot of mony you know to even rent let alone run youself.
Gaming has become more about subscriptions and less about the actual enjoyment of playing. Companies seem to be moving towards making as much money as possible at the expense of gamers. It's becoming really frustrating.
It's not just gaming companies, it's pretty much every company.
This shit is getting out of hand, well and truly out of hand
As somebody who didn't buy a single StarCraft microtransaction outside of a WinterStarCraft supporter voice pack I take pride in knowing I'm among the very few who willingly waits until games are dead and irrelevant enough to play after they've come on sale for $20 or less because I know everything was bound to get worse after a single World Of Warcraft mount made more money than the entire of StarCraft 2 Wings Of Liberty. It's becoming more funny every day as payers continue to get what they deserve.
Well yeah the primary focus of most AAA(A) developers is the ingame store.
ah yes, video platforms are sooo cheap
Stop consuming!
Prices are rising, meanwhile salaries are staying the same and even dropping. People are not spending money if they can barely afford food.
Its only a matter of time before we will be getting full screen ads in gamepass games and we gotta pay an extra $5 a month to remove ads

Stop. Buying. Games.
“Discovery Plus? No thank you. I’m gonna go outside and watch squirrels in the real world” is the best take I’ve heard all day.
I cancelled my Game Pass a few months ago... Too many options left me indecisive on which game to play, so I would typically ended up not playing anything.
It's also not fun when you know you have limited time to play a game (if you don't get year long subscriptions)
For me the problem with gamepass is that I own everything they offer that I would want to play. Doom, quake, fallout, elder scrolls I purchased all that stuff.
I did as well for the same reason. Also my old Xbox crew separated as we became adults and had our lives to worry about more, so now what became my active intense hobby is now something I do maybe once a week, maybe twice on average. And I’m saving at least $10/month doing it. Actually I’m saving whatever ultimate costs nowadays, bc that’s what I had. And I had Xbox live since the Halo 2 online days. Gaming anymore is such a sham
@@TraumfresserBMofficialI’m in the same boat. Occasionally something will pop up on gamepass I really enjoy so I’ll just buy it.
@@CaliJose209it drives me insane they won’t even let you buy year long subscriptions they only let you buy one or three months

Games really aren't that expensive, as long as you're smart with buying them.
Just don't buy new releases and instead buy the ones lowered in price and the ones that are discounted.
We literally have DECADES of videogames. You don't need to play just the brand new ones.
Unless you live in another country
I love how we now are paying for services that have ads and that was a huge reason why people moved to Netflix and such because of no ads and now we are paying to watch ads 😢😅

@UTubeTrollPoIiceNWO my conspiracy theory is that these bots are funded by a country that doesn't like us.
The problem is companies trying to change the market to suit their needs rather than changing to suit the market's needs.
I stopped playing on consoles as I refuse to pay an extra extortion fee just to play my games on top of the electricity & internet bill I already pay.
like he said xbox has always charged for playing online…it’s nothing new…
@@Killthebatman87 i used to play playstation which didn't. The reason why playstation was so popular in at the time of the ps3 was mainly because they didn't require an absurd subscription that does absolutely nothing.
And i clearly said "consoles", not "xbox". Xbox is not the only console in the world.
@@Killthebatman87 yeah, but you could pay a one time fee of $60 to play online for the whole year. Now it’s a monthly fee only option that will cost you anywhere from $75 (only if you pay $25 every three months for core) up to $240 a year for ultimate, so minimum a $15 increase from what it used to be, or double the price just for the “standard” option of game pass. And as of right now the only two options i’m seeing on the xbox store from the console itself is ultimate and core. Gold by itself isn’t a thing anymore and neither are yearly subscriptions, and honestly it’s just plain confusing and a chore to keep up with.
so glad I figured out a glitch to get ultimate for free forever
Well there's steam

Subscriptions services are dumb, but gaming subscriptions services are extra dumb.
Tell that to Netflix and Blockbuster..
It’s always been that way with Xbox and Sony. Pc steam not so much.
Yeah! Instead pay $70 or more for u finished games and be happy! I know this is the better option because a rich, greasy youtuber told me to think that! 😂🤡
TheJohhnyE Have you been living under a rock? Games go on sale so quickly, just buy older games and buy day one for the rare games everyone knows will be bangers. It costs pretty much the same as gamepass, and you get to keep the games you buy.
@@TheJohhnyE Acting like it’s bad to play a game you bought later is fucking goofy. Video games are not food, you don’t eat it once then never touch it again. Every now and then I want to play mx vs Atv unleashed and I can do that because I bought it on Steam and ps2, can’t if I pay a subscription for it.
My problem is that people dont know how to STOP. Its so easy to stop a subscription, and it hurts the company thats screwing you. It seems weve totally forgotten the art of boycotting and its biting everyone (not me) in the ass
And my problem with your problem is companies are making it increasingly difficult to cancel subscriptions, so it's not as easy as it should be anymore
It's still biting you in the ass whether you want to acknowledge it or not. The actions of the majority of consumers are making things worse for all consumers.
I believe social media censorship has something to do with this
I have a pc but i dont even use it to play games anymore since everything is pretty much ruined. Only games i played the last 2 years are killing floor 2 roblox with nephews(hate it) and palworld
for me it cost 100 euro to get 3 years of game pass ultimate(my country do not have a region so I could use any region I need), and it is really not that big of a price making 3k after tax. 20$ A MONTH is really ridiculous even for USA, you people are really getting robed, sorry for you(
Remember, the xbox series x is more expensive now, today, 12 Jul 2024 than it was on release. WHAT A JOKE😂😂
It's because you can actually play PHYSICAL games on it, unlike the Series S and that stupid digital version of the new Series X.
Bruh it’s 4-500$ now when it released you could only get them from scalpers for 700+ do not chime in on shit if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
@@frydaynightz Physical media has more value than digital ones. It's just facts, man.
@@frydaynightz that scalpers though of course it’s going to be more expensive. The actual price was 450 stop defending these companies and their greed.
And PS5 is even more expensive. 😂
The gaming industry seems to be on a very slippery slope. The subscription model was once seen as a convenient solution for players and a profitable one for these global companies. But now they are making unexpected changes that might shift the balance in favour of these companies and less in the consumers.
This was predicted when xbox started acquiring. Netflix being 20 is still way more criminal
Gamepass at 20 is still worth is for me , still sucks feeling squeezed. Netflix at what 24$ for the ability to do my ONE stream at 4k is a ripoff .
@@901Wes Same.
Not to mention that gamepass doubles as one of the best cloud streaming services for games in addition, being able to just play games on PC without constantly buying something new, while being able to also stream games to my retroid pocket on the go is just too good of a deal, there's just no real competition to what they offer.
It's overall kind of insane that they sold it for only 15€/month the whole time now that I'm thinking about it.
@@901Wes think it’s $15 if you aren’t doing 4K
@@marwynthemasterful6369 yeah, but it’s 2024 , I have a 4K tv , I want that Dolby goodness. Netflix one stream at 4k shouldn’t be that expensive . It’s like cable back in the day charging you $10 for HD . Not everyone has kids and needs 6 concurrent streams .
@@901WesIsn't it 4K only on the mobile/TV apps? Iirc the desktop/browser versions aren't even 4K lol
Its what happened to movies. The fact that streaming is unprofitable hit hard this year and the movie industry is on the brink of collapse over it.
Gaming is going to make the same mistake.
That’s why you pirate instead of paying for streaming services.
@@Abr4CaD4v3R that solves nothing… no money means no new titles.
Despite popular opinion, Id argue the rise of piracy does mean lost sales and has led to a lot of the “play it safe” mentality of modern movie and game studios.
@@Abr4CaD4v3Ror just buy indie games. Either one is acceptable
@@billyj.causeyvideoguy7361 pirating is a necessity in most cases since most people can't afford too many subscriptions at the same time. In my case if I were to watch my football team play the Home League games, Champions League and Cup games I'd have to get 3 different TV subscriptions, one for the home games, one for the away and cup games and the other for the Champions League matches. That would be around 50+ Euros a month, not even close to affordable. And you still have more to cover, like games, music, cloud services, movies, etc etc.
There is very few people who can afford those expenses so they turn to piracy.
No it’s not
Read an article the other day that poised the issue is essentially younger generations consider traditional consoles and gaming as old school and genuinely dont care and arent interested the way millenials and Gen Z are even. They basically focus on Fortnite, Minecraft and Roblox where user generated content provides the bulk of entertainment and all their friends are there. Its causing a lot of issues across the industry
Pc is looking better every day
no pc is so shit... literally infested with hackers for ALL online games 😂😂
@@b3to653yea consoles have no hackers…
I've been a PC user for at least 5 years now, and i'd like to say across every single game i've played i've encountered not a single hacker, and I play games a lot.
You'll enjoy the freedom do steam sales, key websites such as Cdkeys that lets you but games at substantial price cuts, subscriptions (such as xbox game pass, previously 10$ a month compared to 17$ a month) are way cheaper than console. Adding onto that the absence of online play.
Unless you're buying a super high end gaming PC you'll ultimately be spending less money owning a PC than a console. Accessories are less expensive to replace, most games are less expensive.
My PC costs around 1k and it it outperformed any gaming device like it was nothing providing a high quality and high FPS gaming experience, my specs are a 6700XT and a Ryzen 5 5600x. If you can afford a PC thats decent i'd highly recommend it, but there is nothing wrong with staying on console. They're all still games at the end of the day.
PC are always better unless if the game you want to play have a trash PC be version thats why having a console specifically PS5 is still handy good ports plus actual physical games and 2 yrs earlier exclusives
@@AreJay5721that don’t mean hackers don’t exist just bc you haven’t ran into any don’t try to look over that buddy lol
Price increase for what? the lack of first party titles? the lack of playable additions? the library that rarely sees any new titles that people are actually interested in?
Just admit you never used the service and have never actually seen what it offers. You don't have always try and be part of the conversation, just because you're feeling left out 😂
they need to cover the loss in sales COD would be seeing from gamepass players
my man is reaching lmao
@@TheJohhnyEhe's kinda right when majority of the games are indie titles people never play
@@TheJohhnyE as Xeon said, lately xbox gamepass has been filled with indie titles which is great for indie developers, i dont mind it
Also i have used gamepass since it came out, and i just remember the days when gamepass had day 1 releases, first party titles, bonuses and in game items for big shooter titles and so much more
for example, Valorant you can get all the heroes unlocked if you use gamepass, that was nice but nothing like that exists anymore
Maybe with microsoft gaining activision and diablo IV we will see more games coming to gamepass, but at the moment a price rise just isnt justified.
Another example is Age of Empires IV, you can get the base game but no expansions with ultimate vs PC gamepass, stuff like that used to be on game pass and they listened to gamers
All those show are free on pirate streaming websites 😂
exactly lmao, i havent paid for tv or music in years
It’s funny how it’s cyclical. Tv at one point was a way to make it easier to consume content then we got thousands of channels. Here comes the internet we get streaming everything in a single platform till it isn’t… goes around full circle enshittification is real since forever

As an Xbox user, anyone who thought this wasn't going to get a price hike is crazy. Every subscription goes up every year at this point and honestly this isn't surprising considering this is right about the time during the year they hike prices up. Paramount is about to, peacock just did. Spotify is about to and I'm pretty sure more will in the coming months. Not sure why anyone is surprised about this when we've been here multiple times.

@@madjoe8622it's cheaper if im not mistaken because you don't get all the features as you do in ultimate that's why
This is the whole point of subscriptions anyways, hence why I dislike them and don't use them unless I absolutely have to have them for some reason. The goal is to get as many people as possible while pricing it good, get you hooked, then hike rates over and over until people are tired of it, then play nice again, then start hiking again, rinse and repeat.
@@madjoe8622 gamepass ultimate is pc and console, you get both in ultimate, if you only want the pc without the console then yea there is a cheaper option

After 15 years of being a die hard Xbox fan. I’m about ready to walk away. Nothing I want to play on my Xbox can’t be played somewhere else. Subscription prices increasing year after year, delays upon delays for AAA games that disappoint. Most games I play on my Xbox are atleast 5-10 years old. The only reason I still have and play Xbox is because my friends do. The same thing that won the 7th gen console war is all that keeps them alive today. I wish they’d go bankrupt so they couldn’t hurt us anymore.

Eh, I have a PC too but I like console because you can just turn it on and play...with a PC you have to mess with graphics settings, and oftentimes you can't play modern games with the best settings even if you have a between medium and high end PC...either you make them look like they have potato graphics with good FPS, or look stunning but with low FPS; console just...WORKS, looking good and playing smooth right off the bat.
Sadly PC gaming is getting shady too, windows goes without saying, and newer games demanding in the TOS that they monitor our browsing interactions when the game is closed. Shaaaady AF so I bought a PS5 for those games so I can play em offline on a device that has far less info to take than my PC.

@@VEN0M415 I used to love PC gaming, but now it's just gotten ridiculous
I've hated game pass for years
I'm traditionally a PC gamer. Given the quality, price and format of recent games (subscription battlepasses, micro transactions, etc.), and having missed the PS3 era, I decided to pick up a pre-owned PS3. All games purchased are on disc format. I'm playing games like Topspin 4, All pro-football 2k8, Fightnight Championship, Uncharted Series 1-3, EA NHL 14, MLB The Show 10, Tiger Woods Golf 14, NBA 2k11, FIFA 17, Madden 11, WWE 2k14, Twisted Metal 2, and more. I've averaged $12-15 per game, and I'm having a blast playing all these games as a first time experience. $70 for a game is insane to me. The value simply isn't there, especially given the fun factor in modern games has greatly diminished. I played along for a while. I did my share of battepass games, like Fortnite (back in the day), PUBG, but I'm done. I will never pay a subscription for anything again on principle. I would sooner forsake gaming altogether before succumbing to their desired model.

If you spend most of your time at your desk, what good does it do you to keep the pistol in a safe in a different room? It just becomes a liability at that point.
As someone being with ultimate gamepass for along time, I think it's time for me to step down when this comes
11:26 their pricing and really the idea as a whole never made sense.
You just perfectly stated why.
Even if its profitable (i dont believe it), its not when you take into account the opportunity costs through all the lost game sales
Raising prices for infinite digital products is wild. It's not even stress on their servers. Because you download the game and play it on the game's server or no server at all.
They gotta give money to the devs off of that (obviously), gotta pay the download servers and the cloud streaming servers (as well as feature implementation like "play anywhere" where you can continue the same save across PC, XBox and Cloud on supported games).
Because yes, gamepass ultimate does in fact double as a cloud streaming service - not to say, they're one of the best providers out there for that on top, which is an extremely nice bonus on top for anyone that utilizes it.
I assume the cost of paying to have 3rd party titles available on Game Pass is what they need to stay ahead of.
the problem is that the game pass is such a good deal it's literally killing microsoft's gaming division. who is ever going to pay 70 dollars for whatever microsoft game comes out when you could play it and everything else you want for a month for like fifteen bucks?
so instead of making seventy bucks per person every first party release, they make fifteen bucks once a month. plus they pay these other indies and shit to get their games on the pass.
the server doesn't play into it at all.
@@True_Terror_Tales technically, it's a way to get people to pay $70 a game anyways. Muta called it two games worth, yeah maybe if you're buying ultimate editions like mk1 (trash), but that's really 4 launch titles. When I grew up, my family maybe bought one or two new games a year, MAX. Microsoft is making off like a bandit since they've managed to now cut off the secondary market. Now it only takes 3 months of consuming slop you probably would have never tried before/ would be paying $15 a title at most to have now paid the same price for ONE launch title that you actually intended to play. The thing about subs like humble is if you cancel it cause you don't like a month's offerings, you can still play the games you bought already. In gamepass you can't so you're basically on the hook to pay every single month. Game pass has never been a good proposition and the early pricing was only to acclimate people and blind them to the purchasing powers they've lost.
Facts plus if you like the game enough you can just go buy it and support the company that made it. So in a way it’s a win win.

Honestly, I think this isn't "inflation." I think this is directly tied to the new call of duty release, which "coincidentally" comes out on October 25th. They bragged how black op is going to be day 1 game. Then turn around and up the price before it comes out.
Edit - wrote this while watching video, before he touched on the call of duty issues.
I wonder how many people realistically play a lot of different games with their game pass subscription. I had it for a while, only to realize that I only ever used it for like 2 games, so I cancelled it and just bought those 2 games, making it to where I've spent a lot less to play those games over time than if I had just kept paying for game pass over the last couple of years.

I've had the basic PS Plus for about 10 years and consistently got the yearly re-up. This year is the first time I have not renewed. The services provided do not warrant the $80+/year price tag.
I don't know what tier you're buying, but the only tiers worth having are like $20 or $30 and $60 a year.
@@leopard_52 60$/year doesn't even exist anymore.

@@leopard_52Might be Canadian cause I think basic is 80 for us
Yeah I do think the base tier got worse when they added the second. The second tier is actually pretty good even better than game pass IMO but also recently got worse.
These price increases aren’t confusing when you realize Microsoft is a corporation, and all corporations only care about ever-increasing profits. That comes from both raising product/service prices AND the mass layoffs to keep payroll slim and stagnant.
It's more weird that we have those budgets not just with a game GTA that is built to last but also shotgunned out slop
You know muta gone mad when there is a glock on the table
Quit my GamePass months ago when I realised I only really wanted to play Flight Sim. Largely given up on modern gaming, going back to my Steam backlog and gems from GOG I can own outright.
Same, once I burnt thru everything I wanted to play which were the gears and halo games I didn’t see any point in renewing as I don’t play COD. I will say Plague Tale Requiem was a game I played on GP that I was pleasantly surprised with. Probably not something I would’ve tried otherwise
@@Neo_Rain146 Yeh, GP was good for sampling random games. I realised most of the ones I liked were indie so would rather put money in their pockets than MS.

For someone who plays mostly old games and struggle to find time to do it, I see no point in paying subscription fee. Also, I'm no longer interested in multiplayer, rather focused on single player/campain so I can do it at my own pace. Whenever there is a game I like - I simply add it to my wish list and wait for a sale.
You don’t own those either
I remember buying a PS4 and then getting confused because I can't go Online on Bloodborne.. then it says I have to pay a subscription to play online and as someone who played on PC for years, I just laughed really hard because I thought no one is stupid enough to pay for a subscription just to play online.. and fast forward a decade later everything including your grandma needs a subscription

They’re taking that old school money making idea to heart.
“If you had a mowing business with 10 customers a week at $10 per customer, you’ll get $100. But let’s say you wanna make more money but don’t have room. You can say you value your work at $20 per customer now and even if you loose half of your clients, you are still making the same but with less effort with the room to add more/ new customers in the future.”
I wonder if these hikes are for that idea, increase to a degree that even those choosing to leave will be offset by those that stay.
Imagine buying new shoes, and being told you can't walk in them unless you pay a monthly fee.
Imagine coming up with such a stupid metaphor and thinking it was clever

@@TheJohhnyEit is, you acting like it’s not because it goes against your corporate overlord doesn’t mean it’s not.
It doesn't work like shoes. As shoes are a necessity, video games are not.
How gamepads works would mean you could get multiple pairs of shoes that were chosen by the company or put on the service by the company and you can wear any of those pairs until the company takes those shoes off the store or until you return them and get another pair.
You metaphor is flawed as it is very reductive. Plus, you don't have to pay for the pair of shoes, you pay a fee to use a wide variety of shoes for an allotted period of time.
I always chuckle when ppl say the game pass is a good deal
I think im just going to upgrade my old pc instead of getting a new xbox when the next gen comes around.
Wait I thought Xbox wasnt allowed to increase gamepass, as part of the agreement with ftc, when purchasing activision blizzard
No, they said that buying ABK wasn't going to increase the price, or something along those lines
Not that GP was never going to increase in price, it's a sub service and costs are going up for basically everything out there, this was inevitable with or without ABK
Well I know you didn’t believe them😂 . Look all these companies want big numbers line must go up. That means capturing a massive chunk of the market , then they raise prices and or add new features that no one wants in order to justify the higher price . Funny thing is , I can’t imagine raising prices in an economically stressed environment is really all that good for numbers ..
they said they wouldn't increase the price to the ftc with gamepass and lied like Sarah bond lied about preserving games they wouldn't be killing Xbox 360 storefront if they were preserving games or would bring back backwards compatibility program
Since when Phil stopped to lie?
They found a loophole. The cause cannot be ActiBlizz. They just have to show that they increased prices before completing the deal(which they did a few months ago) and this current increase is just in accordance with that trend("rising production cost" sure!)
Cable TV didn't have commercials when it came out...now they are about 1/3 of the content

crazy how insane things have gotten with AAA(A) games nowadays, and the companies behind them in general. such large budgets and they underdeliver while still hiking the prices. at least there's still indie games we can rely on
The big gaming companies are hyper-focused on one thing... _Games as a Service_ . Aka, *subscriptions* and a shit ton of *microtransactions* . Selling a fully finished game that people can play once or whenever they want offline, is something they despise.

As for starfield it wouldnt have been any better without Microsoft. When fallout 4 came out i really wanted the special edition because i was so hyped (had just finished new vegas again). Not only did the pip boy not properly fit with samsung phones but they also didnt consider to include most game files.
Back during that time it took me almost a day to download the game. So i had it one day later because special edition, another day for download and that became three because windows decided to update mid download causing the files to vanish.
Oh that was fun.....
I completely agree, although with someone like me who has an awful/poor runningPCc,Game Passs and cloud gaminghaves been good to me. Since I'm not exactly "Running" games through my GPU/CPU (since I have integrated graphics) its been allowing me to play big title games that require NASA PCs to run. That being said, I'm more than willing to pay that 240 annually to play those games.
I did a four months trial of PC game pass Ultimate. Played Flight Sim a few times and tried Forza 5 and hated it. All the games I had interest in, I already owned (Mostly Doom and Doom Eternal, really). I let the free trial lapse barely touching it. It’s not worth 12 bucks at all to me.
I got a Series S with GP last year just to play all the Gears and Halo games. Not a PC guy and my PS5 in my main gaming setup. Once I played everything I wanted I saw no point in renewing. When the next Gears or Doom comes out I’ll pick up another month or two but I don’t see the point in having it longer than that as I don’t even play COD
@@Neo_Rain146yeah, having to pay for basic pc features turned my time with halo 5 (which a friend had bought me an xbox one for) from what probably would've been 6 months to a single month cause of xbox gold. (Also didn't help there was no forge on launch)
Oh. Yeah. That's evil. Locking games to a sub service and the game doesn't even fully launch and you're stuck waiting YEARS for promised or ultimately canceled features. Halo infinite (money glitch) indeed.
This is the second Game Pass price increase just this year alone. I'm waiting for Microsoft to announce that they will release all their titles on every platform at this point.
I wouldn’t hold your breath. Microsoft keeps making promises that they never for-fill.
@@Abr4CaD4v3R Them becoming a 3rd party publisher would 100% pay for their subscription woes
They didn't increase the price this year except for this.
I recently bought XCOM 1and 2 with the expansions from the Steam summer sale for about $12 US, I'll probably play both of these game for hundreds of hours. PC gaming can be really cheap if you wait for sales. :D
Nah Muta you’re tripping, Disney + in Canada is actually fire; because we get more than just straight up Disney content. We get all of the Fox content, so shows like Sons of Anarchy, Snowfall, The Americans (Cold War Spy show that you would love), etc etc. + all the Fox movies, stuff like Family Guy and Simpsons.
Trust Disney + in Canada is really good.
I was a gamepass ultimate subscriber for years. Life is getting harder personally and I haven't had that much time to play games anyway, and now with the price hikes, I just cancelled it. I was thinking about switching full time to linux (Fedora KDE) for months and the gamepass was something I would miss. Guess that Microsoft solved that problem themselves. Now I don't have gamepass, and everything I play on steam already works on Linux. Goodbye Microsoft.
Baby micwosoft gonna wose big time.
I was in a similar position, Linux was the best decision i made for my little rig

Who else doesn't want to pay a subscription for games you dont own that can be taken at any moment? 💯 (just get steam)
So...
You may want to read some of the EULAs for some of the games you got then, as not owning anything isn't subscription related, it has been a growing problem on sold licenses for the past 15 years and is absolutely common nowadays.
You don't own anything on steam either bro. Evrey game requires the launcher to be installed at any moment.

None of the gamepass options includes DLC. If it did, I might view the $20 per 30 days differerently but you have to purchase any game you want DLC for or risk throwing away money.
