No Game Pass Please

[Killersjp]

I wonder if this would have been much smoother without having it included in Game Pass for free. They should have let the people actually paying for the game have it a couple of months before letting Game Pass user have it. Pretty obvious you would have server overload with so many people trying to download on day 1.

Why would you get the privilege to be the first one though? Game pass pays for the game as well. And like I said before, game pass and the game is owned by the same company. It would make 0 sense for game pass to not be allowed to play on first day YET steam users would. If anything it could be the opposite

I don't have game pass but you pay monthly right? And you get other games to choose from to play? So you're not solely paying for MSFS even though they put it in there.

People who have paid for the game upfront have paid solely to play this game only. They've stumped up more money to play it.

So the difference is the gamepass you can play other games for the money you pay per month unlike the money you paid to play this game only. I don't have a problem with it being on the game pass, they just shouldn't have done it from the start, just my opinion.

That really does not matter. I still pay for the game. And for some, it might be the only game they play with the game pass. This is not a contest of who gives most money.

It does matter, you have access to more games whether you play them or not. People buying the game have only paid money for that game.

If you wanted to play this game only then why wouldn't you just buy it? It is cheaper in the long run.

I'm not saying it is a contest and i've said I have no problem with it on the game pass, it just shouldn't have been added from day 1 or removed until it was fixed.

I really wish some people would learn to read. Game Pass is not free, we all know that. We know the games on Game Pass are not free they are included in the monthly subscription. Also I was not saying the game should not be included on game pass either . if you read my posts all I am saying maybe Microsoft should not have had this on Game Pass from day one and put in on a month or so later. Yes I know it is the fault of the publisher. Wow some people take it so personal. And to call people giving a view names very odd.

I think access should always be granted by steam level and years of service seniority.

Such a system would greatly benefit me, therefore it's the right thing to do.

Edit: NO wait, my Steam level isn't even that high. Let's just go by overall money spent on your library. Then I'm probably good.

Game pass was on day one for 2020, it was steam that had to wait. Try for less elitism.

Of course it would have been smoother without the freeloaders.

I agree. People who got the game free of charge by stealing it are probably making things worse for the rest of us. Those of us with a Microsoft membership (myself included) and steam purchasers would really appreciate it if they would fix whatever stealing problem you are referring to.

Dont listen to them. There is no such thing as free game on game pass. You literally pay a monthly subscription to Microsoft. If anything game pass owners have been funding the game since they started developing it.

An absurd proposition. The last Call of Duty also came out on GamePass on day 1 and I assure you that it had a higher volume of players and downloads, however it didn't have as much of a problem on launch day. Obviously the problem doesn't lie there.

I THINK THE SAME. NO GAMEPASS FOR MSFS 2024. Because of that we are all stuck and can't play. Flight Simulator 2024 only has to be available for those of us who pay the 70 USD + and that's it

I pay for Gamepass, how can it be free? We don't put that argument forward with Netflix. It's the devs job to get things working. Every F2P game and big release has the same job to work with a big number of players.
