Re: Four Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (December 9)

This month is the first month since even Xbox Live was first launched that I've let my subscription lapse. This latest drop hasn't convinced me that I'm wrong.

I'm looking at the offering from Xbox, and instead of 'the greatest deal in gaming', all I see is a set of tiers that don't really serve me, and a bloated service stuffed with filler. I want day one releases - but I couldn't care less about Fortnite. I don't want the dog water Ubi+ sub, I'm not even that bothered about EA, to be honest. So, since the price increase, none of the tiers suits me.

Before I cancelled my sub, I had 50+ games installed on my Xbox - three of them were GamePass. Out of the last 42 GamePass releases, there were five that I thought were compelling, and I already owned two of them.

It's worth knowing that 'A Game About Digging A Hole' can be completed in under two hours, and once it's done, it's done. I have it on Steam, and my total playtime 119 minutes.

And, what the hell is a "soulslike deckbuilder"? That's just word soup.
