That’s true. I have a similar dilemma with war thunder. It can be expensive and I feel like it’s rage inducing. Surely buying a full game is better for replay value. Why spend extra when there are so many other options.

And so, I shop around. GamePass on Xbox Series S has been great for 2 months. It gives me a clear picture of what I might pay for in the future. Stellaris seems pretty cool though and they keep supporting it, which can’t be said for the bargain bin games that I pick up for pennies.
