It's good to have a wide variety of games in game pass but if you play 30% or less of their list, is it a good deal really?

Personal opinion, you can have yours, we are different and thats fine!

    Sony downfall is incoming inevitably, Microsoft went hard way you can't make good games,s just buy companies which does :D

      I never knew Tencent is that big. Was assuming Microsoft is the largest in terms of owning large amounts of titles and acquisitions and Sony is in terms of licensing and sales.

When they reach a certain size they explode. Microsoft or any other company of comparable size might explode as well, if it does not find a balance between greed and quality.
