Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed

Honestly, I’ve kinda gone back to buying physical media.

I bought DK Bananza on cart, and guess what? After I finished it, I gave it to my brother. Imagine that! Sharing a game you own? Madness.

I’m eager to pick up Ghost of Yotei from the store this afternoon, as well.

For PC games that’s impossible, at most you can find a disc-shaped steam redeem code

  Family Share works really well in my experience. It worked better when I could change the users more frequently but this model is still works pretty well.

    Is there a way to share a single game and use your library still?
    
    I share my library with my son and when he’s using a game my whole library is unavailable to me, unless something has changed (or I’m old and ignorant … also likely)

    And the huge drawback that if the kid finds some “easy trick to win matches” on YouTube and gets vac banned, the parent also gets vac banned

  That’s why I don’t really use Steam to buy games anymore, too.
  
  At least maybe use GoG if possible to get a DRM free version.

I’ve never gone away from buying physical media, but I could understand exactly why you would want to return to it.

  For me, when the Switch 1 came out it was just nice to have everything on the device and you never had to do the most heinous thing of taking a moment to put a cart into the device.
  
  But more and more I buy one to two games a time and focus on those, so that issue is largely not a thing any more.

    For me, with the Switch 1, I was worried about wanting to play a game but oh no it’s back at home. Happened a bunch of times with my 3DS.
    
    But then I bought a case that had card slots in it, and that concern wasn’t much of a concern anymore. Then the pandemic happened, and I never really left home anyway, which meant it mattered even less. So now I have a few digital games that are super annoying to share.
