I'm fine with the GWG offerings. Been with Live since the beginning. The games might not ALL be for everybody, but you don't have to download them. I just add them to my library and play the ones I want.

People just love to piss and moan... Everyone please go on with your day.

I expected nothing and still disappointed. Not even mad. GWG has become a joke due to GamePass. Its just fun to see what shovelware they can offer for the monthly GWG.

Its because people have a comparison. Sony has offered way better games than MS for the past few months so of course people will complain. Once MS offers better games the other side will complain. No different than 2 people performing the same job but one person getting more benefits. There will be complaints

The fact how cheap you can constantly get GPU for and have been able to for the past 2-3 years. Comparing what Sony gives away to GWG is not comparable. I paid $40/year (realistic $0 since I used Microsoft rewards but I could have sold the codes for $40) for my first 3 years of GPU and tacked on an additional 2 years for $66 each a couple months back.

If people are comparing GWG to what Sony gives, that is funny. They are making the mistake paying $60 for xbox live to get these games, that is on them.

Now once GPU is no longer as discounted as it has been, I could see the complaints but if people are actually looking for a game to play and count on GWG, do a little research and get GPU for a very similar price. Sure you wont own the games, but only playing GPU games for 3 years will create a large backlog of GWG and hopefully in those 144 titles, you can find something to play when your subscription runs out.

I'm with you brother dude, how dare people complain about the low quality of a service they pay for!!! They should just be grateful the Microsoft tax to play the games you already bought isn't double what it is now! Stupid spoilt entitled fools, always thinking they are due any real value for their money!

You are being extremely disingenuous here and you know it. If you used Microsoft rewards to get 3 full years of GPU then either you saved points for forever or spent tons of time and/or money earning points, especially if you didn't have Gamepass quests to bolster your points beforehand. If all that time is worth $40 to you then good (or sad) for you, but for a lot of us our time is much more valuable. Not everybody has the time to play every single day to get the required achievements, or can take the time to earn a gamerscore of 10,000 in a couple of weeks.

Same goes with GWG, it is reasonable to expect GwG to have some sort of value as many don't have the time required to grind away surveys and achievements to make it free on a consistent basis.

You are paying for the online services. The games given out each month is an extra perk that at this point I really don't care if they remove altogether because Game Pass is a much better deal if access to games is what you want.

PS+ might give out slightly better games each month, but they have to because they have to compete with the giant that is Game Pass at the moment. They're giving out Star Wars Squadrons next month... well that's been on Game Pass for well over a month already. And you didn't have to be a member on a specific month to get it, you could join for the first time right now and get Squadrons. But with PS+, if you miss Squadrons in June and join in July, well you missed out on it forever.

And don't even think about letting your PS+ subscription expire because that huge collection of games becomes nothing but box art. Whereas GWG actually gives you the games even if you no longer have Xbox Live Gold.

GWG is comparable to PS+ because they are basically the same service. In fact it was Sony, giving away games with PS+, that forced Microsoft to start GWG to counter Sony. You can't compare GPU with PS+ because they are not the same service. A better comparison for GPU is PSNow however we aren't talking about these 2 services. I repeat, we are NOT TALKING ABOUT GPU. We are talking about GWG as compared to PS+ and in the past few months PS+ has given away better games with GWG. This is not subjective but a fact if you look at the offerings for the last few months.

In the end you have found value with GPU in comparison to GWG. However telling everyone to get GPU is not a solution since most people don't see value in GPU and are perfectly fine with GWG.

WOW, you are going to attack the Microsoft rewards.... Solid approach. Those points I spent were BEFORE they offered the 10K punch cards. That is why I had CODES and they were not just applied to my account. This was back in the day when you could get 1 year of xbox live for 24K points but hey we all get upset when we cannot get free things.

About the time, sure I might spend 2-3 minutes each day doing my searches but you could have done it instead of typing your post above.... I have not spent my points since they discontinued the 1 year of xbox live and getting close to enough points to get a free series X once they are in stock. Now that takes commitment but not what I stated above.

Now disregarding that, you can buy one year of xbox live for $60, buy 3 of them for $180, then convert to GPU. OR you could buy them when they go on sale which $40 is a thing of the past but have seen $50 recently.

When you can get GPU for the same price as GWG yes you can compare GPU to PS+. EVERYONE can stack 3 years of live and convert to GPU for $1. I believe you can let that expire and do the same thing again but personally I just bought EA play to extend my GPU at $66 a year. Once Microsoft ends this, then of course you cannot compare them but I thought the "upgrade" was a one time thing and was suppose to end like 2 summers ago but here we are and they allow it. Now if Sony has some free upgrade to their PSNow which I think is their comparable I am all for hearing that but to my knowledge they do not.

PS+ and XBLGold are the services you are paying for. They are first and foremost access to online services, NOT a service for access to games. GWG is an additional perk that was created to compete with the access to games perk that was introduced with PS+. But that extra perk has been slowly made obsolete by Game Pass because it's still provides the "access to games" service but on a much bigger scale. They are both essentially a rental service for games. Let your PS+ subscription expire and you lose access to your years of games that they've given you access to. Same with Game Pass. In fact, GWG is the only perk that lets you keep your games even after your subscription has expired.

So no, you are incorrect. The two services are comparable.

I got 3 years of GPU for $120 so it's actually cheaper than PS+.

As much as I agree with your post in this thread and I think we see things in the same perspective that is not true. You are comparing your discounted GPU to full price PS+. It was sub $30 the other day. I remember when you could never find it discounted but since Microsoft had the GPU upgrade, it is constantly discounted which makes a lot of sense.

I've rarely ever seen PS+ go below $40 so that was the price I was comparing it to. The $120 for 3 years I paid for GPU wasn't min/max'd either, I just picked up codes at whatever price I could, but I could have easily paid under $100 with a little effort.

Geez, try to be a bigger asshole.
