That math just isn’t true. I was on and off game pass from 2019-2021, and every time I resubscribed it was in part because they’d offer me 1-3 months for $1 each, and then $10 for the next month or two before I would cancel. During those periods I would play the games I would never go out of my way to buy to try (Forager, Slime Rancher, Donut County) and multiplayer campaigns with my buddy that I knew I’d never play again (Gears of War 5, Journey to the Strange Planet, Wolfenstein Young Blood). It was never going to last, but there was a time where game pass was insanely good value if you did it right.
