Is there a consistently updated list of upcoming games for the PC game pass specifically?
It seems like a great deal now, but once the trial price expires and they want you to pay $15 a month for Ultimate, it won't seem that way anymore. Enjoy it while you can.
It's all relative. Compared to the intro price, the regular asking price isn't a great deal. Compared to paying for everything separately, it obviously is. All I'm saying there will undoubtedly be people who think it's overpriced once that initial offer expires.
I also think its most avid users will likely reach a saturation point where they've played everything in the "100+ games' that interests them and they end up counting on the new stuff hitting the service to give them their money's worth. So landing the big titles will be key for it going forward.
You also have to realize down the road, yes many people will be subbed to Game Pass, but they will likely also be subbed to other subscription services. I mean, we already have several - like Ubisoft's and EA's - and the choices could eventually be as overwhelming as the streaming TV and movie services now. And if those other services have some of the same games as Game Pass (which I think they inevitably will), that can also hurt Game Pass's perceived value.
So again, for now Game Pass seems great (and it is!), but I think it will seem less great as it gets more competition, the intro price expires for many users, and the library starts to stagnate a bit as people play most of what it has to offer, and games on it start to cross over with other subscription services - i.e. Assassin's Creed might appear on it, while also obviously being on Uplay+.

I don't have Gamepass but aren't games withdrawn from Gamepass after a certain period? That would be something I would seriously dislike because I would like to build a catalogue and not have the pressure to play a game before it's deleted. That would be my only gripe with Gamepass.Buying games for $50 is starting to feel like a really bad deal now that every new game could be just around the corner to arrive on gamepass.

Same here. It's been incredibly liberating to be able to delete games left and right if they don't grab me in the first few hours.Ruthless Uninstall is how I get past this. If there is a game I am not enjoying anymore, its gone.
Okay, that is at least better than just withdrawing a game.You can purchase the games on gamepass for a reduced price before they leave. Not sure how much of a discount they give you off the top of my head.
NiceAfter Outer Worlds, I think the next big game is Psychonaughts 2.
How do you play all the games that interest you when there is new shit added regularly? You got a time traveling Delorian?
Lol! I'm crying over here.

For me at least, I feel I have no desire to play a game I am not enjoying. Like if I would have bought Blair Witch I know I would have played through the whole thing because I invested in it. Instead I just uninstalled it after an hour and moved on to something else.
They aren't swapping out 50 games at a time. One could easily binge the games on the service and get through most of the existing library in a couple of months.

Lol. Game Pass definitely adds new meaning to backlog!I'm sitting in front of my TV with no idea what game to tackle next, do I finally load up Dead Cells, do I carry on with Gears, Bloodstained is going to be out tommorow, i need to remember to download THAT game now? Oh for god sake now Outer Worlds is coming out next month?
Being an adult with responsiblities and Game Pass is a grueling trial of self restraint, im beginning to dread every Game Pass announcement because its on the verge of ruining my life.
Okay im being obviously hyperbolic, but the fact i might not be buying another game until my subscription runs out in 2020 (apart from Links Awakening on Switch) is pretty darn amazing. Let me BREATHE.
50 games in a couple months? You've just described the gamer who needs Game Pass. They bring in about 8-10 games a month.
No one's going to like or even try everything on the service, and a lot of the games people only have a passing interest in they'll play for like 20 minutes and never touch again. Point being once they get through the games they like, they'll just be waiting around for new stuff to be added, thus the huge library they're paying for access to kinda becomes moot since they're now essentially just paying for access to 8-10 games a month, which they may or may not like. And if they pay for other subscription services in addition to Game Pass, some of the games being added may be redundant, diminishing the perceived value of GP even further.
You're trying...so...hard. Admire the effort.
On one hand, the service doesn't interest you because your games can last you 3 to 4 months. However you could see people easily firing through the 50 of 200 games that might be worth a shot plus another 10 a month that will enter the service.
If the average consumer finds a game a month, they've got their money's worth. It's the price of a movie ticket.

It's immensely tiring.LOL at trying so hard to downplay Game Pass.
Can't say that I'm shocked or surprised.
