I can't see how it would hurt MS and the publishers, and it's great for players. Giving someone two weeks notice to finish a 100 hour game like Dragon Quest XI is just insane.
On the one hand, the info is nice and it's good to give people full notice of when to expect the title to leave, assuming the licences are confirmed to definitely end on that date and not be renewed.
On the other hand - they're not giving you 2 weeks to finish the game, they're giving you 12 months or however long it's been on there in total, then for you to hopefully buy at a discount if you want to keep playing after that. If you're not even starting the game until it's about to leave, and you *have* to 100% it before it leaves, that's on you.
It is not on “you”
If it was 1 year on each every game then I would agree but it is all so unpredictable.
If games A and B enter on the same day, and game A stays in for 2 years but game B stays in for 6 months, which do not know until 2 weeks before, but play game A first then have no time for game B, then if finished with game A and can’t play game B as it left then no need to sub then
If they let us know that info then we can play game B first and then play game A and keep subscribing.
Lego Worlds was only 6 months. Cities Skylines was 2+ years and came back.
If you are spending 6+ months on a single game pass title then you should not be subbed.
It is not meant to be just playing one, and for six months. I just said it that way to keep it simple! Mix in multiple games and varying time frames and it gets even more overwhelming
I never bothered with Outriders except for the rewards points, as I thought being from Square Enix it would be in there only 3 months and maybe come back this year and stay for a year. If I knew it would have been in a year I would have played it.
GTA V was only 3 months
With the lack of info.The only way to be on the safe side is assume that all 3rd party games will in for 3 months and start it as soon as it enters, otherwise just forget it
PS NOW gives more info, although you have to keep looking at the game and see if a date starts appearing, Truetrophies do not keep an eye on the leaving dates like TA, but Sony give up to 7 months notice.
Every single article about games leaving the vast majority decide to prioritise, buy the game leaving, or accept maybe next time it appears they'll do it then but you're always there, upset and complaining every. single. time. that MS didn't give you enough time to complete every single game and how PSNOW does it better.
The subscription is cheap, theres a shit ton of choice on it, if you couldn't finish a game in time, buy it or wait till it reappears, they aren't loading it with games hoping everyone 100%'s them in the timeframe. All your complaints are you problems and entitlement.
