Microsoft just raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $29.99/month, and fans aren’t happy. Many are canceling, some are calling for a boycott, and even Microsoft’s website is struggling to keep up.

Today I purchased 4 games on Steam sale in one go: Elite Dangerous: Deluxe Edition, DOOM Eternal Standard Edition, Hades and Slay the Spire for 18,34€. I don’t need to repay to play them and “own them forever”*****(big asterisk, i know!).
The part of Game Pass that gets me the wrong way the most is, if I stop paying monthly, then I loose access to all games I played so far too. Yes, that’s the point of a subscription and I dislike it. To be honest, the price of Game Pass was really good in the past. But I usually focus at max a few games in a month anyway, including free to play, so having such a big library to choose from is not that big of a deal.
Some games on steam are actually DRM free and you do ‘own’ them once downloaded. I think slay the spire is one but I could be remembering wrong.
Right, there are lists for: https://steam.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games and https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam
I can find Slay the Spire in the second list.
Eternal was fun, I only got to it a few months ago. Great deals! Slay the Spire is a favorite
