A recommendation for every pc gamer especially those subscribed to Humble monthly

Yeah, you don't own the game but who cares whether you own it or not after you finish it anyway :D

I was already convinced, but waiting to melt my backlog first. It has regional pricing as well, which is awesome for me. (HB doesn't have and almost all bundles become cheaper if I buy games from Steam one by one -_-)

So, it is not like GeForceNow, where you have to own the game before you can play it, right?

Although slightly disappointed that there is no Serbia on the list, I still love the idea, even if I'd rather own the games and get achievements.

However, the backlog is strong in this one xD

Here's my hot take on subscription services: eventually they might make you less likely to play games. It's the Netflix effect. You see, at first, Netflix seems like a really good deal. You watch a lot of movies and shows and everything's great. Months go by and you start seeing less and less interesting titles, and you only subscribe when you see something that really interests you. You start spending more time browsing the selection than watching. Your backlog grows and grows because all these new titles are interesting but maybe not interesting enough to actually watch. Pressure mounts as you're paying for a service you barely use. Then, you decide you want to rewatch a show you really liked but find that it's been removed from Netflix. So you look it up, and the show is now on a competing subscription service. In fact, all your favorite shows are on different subscription services. So finally you go "Screw it." and bookmark Pirate Bay again.

I imagine it's the same thing with game subscription services. Maybe replace PB with Steam. And food for thought, it might take you a month's subscription to finish playing a long game, as opposed to a few nights of watching a TV-show. As of right now, there aren't many competitors around so the game pass deal is very good. But you know how it goes: the more popular a service becomes, the more expensive it eventually gets. That's something you can 100% count on.

It's a good service for RENTING games.

Not to mention, it doesn't have mod support, which is very important for pc gaming

I do use it occasionally but it's not supported in my country so I'll just wait till I get a series s and can buy GP ultimate codes

There are enough games I want to play there that it's definitely worth doing for a few months. For now I'm still trying to get through my Steam backlog though.

My cousin bought be 3 months of it so we may play Sea of Thieves together.
For now I'm quite happy with it, it got me to try some games that I wasn't sure I wanted to buy (like Carto and Forager) and I downloaded a few games I'm planning on playing in the next few months (Control, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Descenders, Moonlighter, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Spiritfarer and a few more).
I personally wouldn't have bought the game pass on my own because I tend to game only occasionally, but now that I have it, might as well take advantage of it, especially given the winter, quarantine and curfews.

I like to own my games not rent them.

I had 3 months for free, but I didn't subscribe afterwards. It felt that every day I didn't play a game from there was a day wasted.

Also it happened that I was playing through a game series (Metro) one of the games got delisted just as I was about to finish the entry before it. Which only made the feeling I had stronger.

Sure, I'll check it out... right when I'm done with my Steam backlog. By my calculations it shouldn't take me longer than a century. :D

As most other people I had 3 months of Xbox game pass. Played Dishonored 2, Sea of Thieves, Forza horizon and some more. Honestly speaking, it's not quite worth it if you have Steam for more than 2 years and occasionally buy games on Steam sale and from bundles.

Moreover, don't see any reason to pay for that unless I don't have to use a VPN to subscribe to that.

I had a month free and I hated it. The way Microsoft handles game files management is a sad joke. I'd rather buy my games on any other platform where I will have permanent access to said games, and where I can actually make changes/troubleshoot issues in the directory my games are installed.

Just not my cup of tea, I guess.

can you mod the games

It's nice for playing/testing some random games. But some titles seem to leave pretty quickly. I certainly won't stop buying games or bundles because of it. But for those who can't afford much more, it's absolutely a great deal.

i'll wait till game pass comes to steam or steam makes its own version

Game Pass is the best deal in PC gaming but there are issues. Specially when you compare the service with Game Pass Console version. You pay the same price as the console version, but get less AAA games, and often get poorly ported versions of the game (Control for example). Many games don't give you achievements on PC even though they do in console (Edith Finch, Donut County are 2 recent examples of this). I am not a stickler for achievements personally, but a lot of people do care about these things. Also console has game pass specific Microsoft Reward quests, which are not available on PC. And don't even get me started on the recent EA Play fiasco. Don't get me wrong, I love game pass and I have persuaded a number of friends and acquaintances to get it, but compared to the console version, PC game pass users usually get the short end of the stick.

Thanks for the recommendation!
I actually didn't know about this and there's quite a few games that I'd like to play, I'm not bothered about owning them or using mods so I might try it!

The biggest problem with xbox pass is you can not touch 90% of the games which means no mods, no reshade no anything just the vanilla experience, unless you use third party tools that are a chore .
The xbox app is a mess, it installs games on a virtual drive that is locked away from you and there is no way to access them. Before anyone starts googling there is no working method to completely take ownership for the files. You can do it with certain games, but most of them won't let you any modification such as Greedfall that has cool customization mods but you can't use them because Microsoft decided that you won't touch the precious game files or add any of your own. As I said there are tools like UWPDumper and maybe others but I don't mess with them, accessing my game files should not be a chore. There is also risk for messing up your files then you won't be able to repair/delete them because of this weird handling of files.
This is my personal opinion.

I did the deal twice. One for Game Pass for PC and once for Game Pass Ultimate and got a lot of value for $2. It's a reasonably good system and new games get added a lot.

It's a great service for me — I tried and played many games with it — The Outer Worlds, The Messenger, Ape Out, Creature in the Well, for example. Finally got my hands to Prey & The Banner Saga. Finished Sea Salt this week as well :) Some of the games, like Sea Salt or Creature in the Well were a great surprise, and they weren't on my wishlist, so I've missed them otherwise. Some games like A Plague Tale/Afterparty/My Friend Pedro/Felix the Reaper were a disappointment — I'm glad that I didn't buy them on steam. I'm still using Humble, though, so I add games that I especially liked (like Graveyard Keeper & Pathologic 2) to my steam library; others will do as giveaways (like Indivisible). So far I'm pretty satisfied. But yeah, you have to play and mind your time, or you'll just pay Microsoft for nothing. At least they give you ~14 days notice before some game will leave, and usually, that's enough for me. (well, it won't work with Yakuza, lol)

It's great if there are a few AAA titles + some notable small ones you want to play but if there's only two or so AAA titles that interest me atm (Control, Desperados 3, and a few indies) then it's not really worth it because I can almost buy one of the games for a month's price. I tried it last year and it was great, went through Ori Wisps, Gears Tactics, Outer Worlds, Wasteland 3, Spiritfarer, Dead Cells, NMS etc, but one month was enough. Might try it again if enough games build up in the future.

Many of the other ones I already got from Monthly or bundles.

Who is 'u'?

just to inform you, there are reseller who sell it cheaper, i've seen someone sell it Rp 200.000 (14,5$) for 1 year.
