Ok. Taking a break from super long games. Time for a pallete cleanser.

i really don't understand who Xbox gamepass ultimate is really for anymore. With over 500 games a month adding in ubisoft, it feels like a paralysis choice for even the most hardcore gamer. You REALLY must be invested in the ecosystem. Any time not spending on gamepass will feel like a waste imo.

Garret Bland @blandexplosion.bsky.social · 13d

Well, I've made my decision. I am canceling my Xbox Gamepass Ultimate subscription. It ends October 13th. Once I get my PC going, I may hit up PC gamepass for a month here and there. But that's pretty much it.

Would it be so hard to add in Day 1 games to the Premium tier 😒. Gamepass PC still holds to be the best deal, but it would be nice to get Day 1 games on console without needing to get Ultimate. I don't need Ubisoft Classics / EA Play / Cloud.

It's not worth it anymore. They have completely nerfed the rewards system. I'm not even considering that when looking at different tiers.

Done with Phantom Liberty. What a ride. Now, for the final mission 😎

Sen. Roger Marshall: "It seems very disingenuous for the Democrats to be blaming President Trump for these rural hospital struggles. The reason rural hospitals are struggling is because of the bad economy."
