Finally. Thank God that’s over and I can get my free Diablo soon. Gamepass is fantastic!

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. You do you I guess.

I will say it’s not technically free, game pass has a fee, ergo you’re paying for it.

I don’t know enough, nor care enough to weigh in on the implications of this deal.

I play Minecraft Java and Factorio and really am not interested in any other games as I found these two be be good for what I enjoy and they don’t ask me for more money all the time.

Fair enough on free. But I spent $70 for 3 years of game pass. Might as well be free at that price point. Literally less than a gallon of milk.

$70+ for a gallon of milk is insane.

I’m only joking, I couldn’t help myself. Have a nice day!
