Brief history - I was a PS player from PSOne to PS3, got an XOne for last gen, had it for 5 years, then got a PS4. Considering you kind of have to have some kind of service to access anything online, I’ve had GamePass for 5 years and just recently got PS Plus. I download every ‘free’ game included with the services then delete them so I can access them in the future. The thing is, I think I’ve actually played one of these games. I don’t know if it’s an OCD, or stuck in the mentality of a Gen X/Z gamer (I’m 40) but I still like to pick and purchase my own games. I like the idea of getting these bonus games but I don’t like the idea of playing something I didn’t choose.
So I guess what I’m wondering is, do people who have these services actually play all these games?
I have the Xbox game pass, and play games from the cloud from time to time when mobile, and love to try games I’ve had eyes on and wasn’t sure if I’d actually pick them up or not on steam. And or can’t afford to pick up right away.
Also have humble bundle that I love to get games from especially when games I’ve wanted appear from it, I claim what I want and think I’ll enjoy at some point and then attempt to give the rest away within some communities I’m in
