$30 a month. I stopped paying that. That’s like 4 games a year in subscription fees. I’d rather just buy 4 games. I don’t need endless games for that price.
Are there even 4 90$ games worth purchasing in any given year?
Most of my library is in the <30$ range
Good point. I just bought Fallout 3, New Vegas, and FO4 for under $16 total.
Even with the $60 price tag for each these three are half of what they are asking for a year.
That’s insane. It really shows how little they think of the customers that are naive enough to pay it, especially seeing as it’s clearly not necessary to charge that much.
I dumped it when it went from $5 to $10 a month for PC gamepass.
$120 a year gets me A LOT of games on Steam sales.
I know I’m not the target audience, but it was pretty nice playing tons of games for $5 a month.
At $30 I don’t think I could even justify that. It’s absurd. Even as a one off to play everything I could…I’d rather use that $30 for literally anything else.
