I mean, when you could convert Xbox Live Gold credits to Gamepass and get it for like $60 a year, it was genuinely a great deal. And that lasted for like 4+ years.
I don't think that changes the fact that the correct amount to charge for general access to online games is $0. It doesn't really matter how much you bundle with it, it's still a scam to charge for it.
It sounds like a seasons pass for hardware.
In my opinion it was still wrong, I mean you pay for your internet provider so you can download the games, which you only are able to play offline, but to play them online you add a subscription on top. This does not sound like a good deal to me at all, not for this sole reason at least, playing online or with your friend should have never been pay walled.
The day one games and every month a selection to play games for free is the deal sealer and I am with you, with this on top it was a great deal.
