I didn't buy it, but I'd wait for a sale or play it for free on a trial then cancel the sub.

Used the game pass £1 first month, and I'm glad I did, because I'm really not vibing with it.

Game Pass for me, though the game is so good that I can definitely see purchasing it outright once it hits Steam.

Are there actually that many who are paying FULL price for GP and not converted to Ultimate/tacked on deals ?

Bought it on PS4 at retail. Was going to play it on Gamepass but after the reviews i wanted Obsidian to get all the coins.

Playing with Game Pass, but I'm gonna go ahead and purchase it given how much I love it. Might be the Switch version I get, but I will pay full price money for this.

Gamepass. Im liking the game overall, but would've waited for a price drop if it wasnt for GP.

I intend on buying it for PS4 at some point, but to be frank my PS4 dashboard slowed down so much the whole experience reminds me a lot of Wii U in that I don't want to boot up my PS4 anymore. Maybe I'll get it when I'm compiling my GOTY list and feel the need to at least try it.

I grabbed it with game pass because I wasn't sure how much I'd like it .... 11 hours of playtime later and it's like they mixed mass effect with bioshock and it's pretty solid (maybe a bit too easy on normal difficulty though). I think I'll pay for an actual copy of the game whenever it's out on steam.

Will purchase the full version on Switch (barring terrible performance). Currently playing on my Game Pass which was purchased using discounts.

This is skewed. I'm sure there are people who don't frequent the forum who bought it but I'd imagine the cut to be 10/90 here

I have the Gold converted GP for 2 and a half years more so I've been playing it through that. So I voted for the "offer" because it's not the full price.

Game Pass on PC continues to be an awful shitty service so I would never pay full price for it. Microsoft needs to end their stupid folder lockdown scheme - no other PC game launcher has such a thing. I'd rather start buying games on the Epic Store than deal with this shit, I only have it because it was cheap.

I used the $1 deal to try it out on PC. I'm liking the game so far and will probably pick it up on switch or PS4/Steam later on for a second playthrough.

Bought it on the windows store, because my brother and I can share the game on two different PCs.

Headaches getting it installed at first, but otherwise working well.

This can't be right. Only 12% of people actually bought the game? Even for a Era this's extremely low.

I was not going to buy it (at least not at full price, I love Obsidian but I'm not a huge fan of Fallout), but I saw it on Game Pass for PC so I went for it. To be honest I don't understand how game companies can earn money with this business model, so I feel a bit ashamed of being subscribed to it... but I would probably not buy any games included in the game pass, so I guess it's more than nothing ?

Anyway the game is pretty good so far. A little bit too close to Fallout 3 and NV in its presentation and game design, but the characters are nice and the setting of the first town is very interesting (anthough a bit unsubtle with its satire I would say).

I'm hoping it gets full political at some point, we'll see.

I used the $1 pc game pass thing as a demo. Will probably pick it up on special down the line.

Watching my gf play it via Game Pass. I'm subbed until mid-2021. She says she would've paid for it though.

Game Pass (normal price) - on PC.

I already used two $1 trials back in late 2017 and early last year on Xbox. It won't let me use them again lol, contrary to this popular belief that everyone is playing Game Pass for free!
