Here's the problem Gladdys, you have people at the top of Xbox encouraging this very behaviour:

So what that's led to is a bunch of people going into unrelated threads with the objective of doing nothing else but shilling gamepass. At one point here we had a group of people taking turns to create new gamepass threads pretty much every day (but I'm sure you knew that, you seem to have been here for a while seen as you think you know me), it got so bad that those types of threads had to be banned and a catch-all gamepass thread was created. Nobody likes a gamepass marketing bot, nobody.
I'm a simple man, if Xbox want me to show them some love then give me a steady flow of games I can sink my teeth into. I don't give a crap about anything else, especially so since I don't need their hardware anymore. It's not my fault if they want to overcomplicate things and focus their energy as a business in all the wrong places. PR and services will only ever take you so far.
But regardless, this is a thread about subscription business models, so it's absolutely a place where even people who aren't too fond of the business model can come and freely discuss it. My stance is clear, these models still have everything to prove when it comes to their long term viability in the gaming industry.
