$360 a year for all the games you want to play, but you don't walk away with anything is only worthwhile if there's a huge rush of new games all being added day 1.
Like, I had it for a while before the price jump, and at $15/month the annual COD and a handful of games you like but not enough to buy made it worth it.
But COD sucks, and there's not many good games releasing at all, let alone available day 1 on game pass.
I most likely would have cancelled by now even if it was $15.
For the math to work out, they need to have a couple of the big "annual games" but if people stop playing them, they stop paying for game pass immediately.
So Xbox needs to make all that shit "in house" and understand that if the deal is decent, no one is buying the annual games. They're competing with themselves at this point.
Would have been better off to build up their own titles exclusive to game pass then co-opt existing ones that are available elsewhere...
