No it's not, the community is just paying for it collectively! The players deserve a game that's better because they're still paying for it as a group instead of as individuals! Stop individualising yourselves so much that you can't even critique a product anymore!
Not exactly what you mean but my favorite is “it’s free on gamepass.”
So not free, in fact the opposite of free even. Do words even have meaning anymore?
"this game was free on gamepass!"
"how much do you pay for gamepass?"
"$15"
"how many games have you got from it this month?"
"just this one"
"so you rented this game for $15"
