    Sure. Until everyone buying up the game results in $200 copies for a 5 hour game since there are no alternatives and everyone was enabling it by buying bad games.

    Slippery slope is a fallacy for a reason. There is no evidence of rent only games comming anytime soon, it’s just doomsaying.

        Yeah it is, you have no proof of the “rent only” future you are doomsaying about. Movies used to be mostly rented out, yet this hasn’t led to the “rent only” situation, quite the opposite.

            Nobody buys movies or songs anymore, they have to pay for a SERVICE to listen to music, tv shows, and movies…

            What do you mean they have to? DVDs and CDs are still being sold. It turns out that people simply prefer the convenience of online media services.

          No, it isn’t, you have no proof of the “no rent only” future you’re so sure is waiting for us.

            Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof - you are the one claiming the “rent only” future is comming and that people should “just buy the game” instead of going for gamepass. I don’t have to debunk your insane claims, the burden of proof is on you.

                You haven’t provided proof. You just repeated your claims and expected people to react differently this time. I’ll just stop replying to this thread if you don’t mind. I dislike arguing with people who don’t have anything sensible to say.
