I don’t personally know anyone on game pass, and only one with Nintendo online, so that seems accurate. But it doesn’t matter. Releasing AAA games day one on a subscription model isn’t sustainable for Microsoft or the studios participating. Those prices will go up and the service will enshitify.

Steam, the cheapest I see it as is 79,99€ where I am, which is actually US$90. I just assumed the US store did a straight numeral conversion to dollars, but you’re getting a discount too, it seems.

1. It’s $80
2. It’s on Gamespass, where I assume a lot of doom fans who might have otherwise purchased are likely to be.
3. It’s shouldered up against Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remake, both over $20 cheaper and highly acclaimed.
4. It’s $80
5. (Edit) shitty DRM

My friend, this is why Lemmy exists.

Step 1: get lots of subscribers Step 2: enshitify

It took them 8 years of trying to get to step 1.

Just think. At least you can sell off those nick-nacks. What value is there in digital goods you don’t want?
