Game Pass changes: Opinions Megathread - Part 2

The previous megathread from yesterday was getting too big. We've created this new megathread so that everyone can continue to discuss the changes to Game Pass, without their comments getting buried.

Please keep the discussion on the rails. Rant, rave and criticize to your heart's content, but please avoid the following:

• Personal attacks
• Abusive language
• Anything political
• Anything off-topic

Those types of comments will be removed.

For context, the previous pinned megathreads:

• Premium and Ultimate Games List?
• Updated Conversion Rates of new Game Pass Plans

• I genuinely believe the Xbox branch is trying to bankrupt itself
• Direct Rewards Redemption ends tomorrow (10/1)
