Gold doesn’t exist anymore. Now it’s game pass core or something…the rate went up with that “migration”. You do get access to a few “free” games with core, but you gotta pay way more to have the full deal. I think core is $70/yr now?
Is it $30/month on top of Xbox gold or does the game pass include it?

It’s included, but good lord if that’s not a very high price for temporary access to a collection of bargain bin games. You could buy a full price game every other month for that money.

On top of that, I have personally developed some gaming habits that I don’t care for at all as a direct result of gamepass.

What type of habits?

The theoretically vast availability has made me quick to abandon games that didn’t deserve it. I’m having a lot of difficulty committing to even some objectively good games. I don’t enjoy the bouncing around and yet I keep doing it. It feels related to FOMO.
