Earlier in the year they removed the trial offer. Now it’s returned, but worse than before.

    Their discless gaming consoles that rely entirely on subscriptions like this were a lousy idea, streaming works for movies but not for console games. Nowadays digital console media takes up so much storage space, my 1TB discless xbox one can only ever have 10 games installed at any given time. And that’s not considering the updates that take literal hours being released every other day at this point. If those green discs ain’t broke then don’t fix them. I can’t wait to save up for a switch, that’s where all the fun games are anyway

      The Series S doesn’t primarily stream games - it plays them locally. Not sure why you’re ranting about that.

      Funny enough, maybe it’s just that I play a bunch of indie games and fewer AAA live service masterpieces, but I’m able to fit well over 10 games just on my unupgraded Series S drive.

      I do also own a bunch of games digitally on there - and even if I stop playing Game Pass, I have access to those.

      You don’t have to stream gamepass games. And I would rather not have more useless ewaste. Games are too big for discs anyway
