Xbox Game Pass

The answer to this question may be very simple - I just don't have money, but I don't understand one thing ... why should I buy this game on Steam (even on the discount) if I can play it on Xbox Game Pass what will be a much cheaper alternative?

Xbox Game Pass is only cheaper if you play lots of games on it. Otherwise, you'll just be paying every month instead of once. Also, Xbox Game Pass doesn't work on Linux while Steam does.

And, while not applicable here as Mojang is owned by Microsoft, despite the 30% cut buying on Steam still supports the developer more than playing it on Game Pass.

I've always wondered why developers release their game on Xbox Game Pass - Ok, on the one hand more people will be able to play it, but on the other hand the original creators will earn less. Your arguments are very interesting, thanks!
