The point is: I don’t need or want to own games. I want to play them. If a game I like is not on Gamepass, then I may buy it.

I work in IT and I know that users don’t own softwares nowadays.

Also, I’m in the Xbox ecosystem since Xbox 360, I don’t want to switch to PC.

“Everyone is different” => that’s the point! And that’s why it is important to have options. Those who like buying can still do it, but as someone who rarely replay a game, I don’t need to “own” them. And when I think I may want to replay a game, I just buy it.

I’m a gamer, and it make sense for me…

It’s also a matter of region I think.

On Threads, I have more French speaking and African interactions. Here it’s mostly US users who are most active.
