Why buy on steam when you can play on game pass ?

[gDance]

Just 1 bucks to play the game. Am i missing something ?

You paying full price just to ownb the license to play on steam. You dont even own it. Why wouldnt you just play on game pass ?

aside from the fact that gamepass is trash, i'm planning on playing this game for months/years and i'd end up paying more in the long run than a one time purchase

because it is DOOM

why is the game pass bad ? You pay 1 bucks to play doom. In the long run its much cheaper.
120 Euro for a year to play all new games. Or you can buy every game for 80 bucks

Well for starters you're just renting a catalog. You stop paying you lose access to everything.

At least with keys/retail you've got all the accessibility to the game regardless of ownership

I have all my game stuff (500+ games) in Steam. I don't want to switch platforms just for 1 game. Also, as mentioned before, I won't just play trough it once, but atleast 2-3 times in vanilla. Then, after some time, pretty sure there will be mods, that change up the game a lot, just like it was in Eternal, what also will make me play the game for more and more.

Edit: To add, I got the premium edition with DLC + Early Access for 82€. With all the stuff I mentioned before, it's easily worth that money.
People spend so much money on stuff that will entertain them for maybe 1-2 hours only (like a visit in the cinema), so 80€ for something that will entertain me for probably 100+ hours is more than fair.

but in the end you mostly will play the game for 2 weeks. Afterwards never touch it.

People come back, I for one will reinstall a game if I'm in the mood. It's more comforting to know I can put the game down for a year and come back and it's still there. Than say resubbing to game pass and the games I wanted to play aren't there anymore

Buying on Steam gives me access to the game anytime I want, for as long as I want.

Paying for GamePass gives me access to the game at the discretion of a monthly price tag.

Pretty simple choice for a Doom fan.

It's also good to support developers that put out quality products. Imagine if every single person paid for GamePass, where would the industry be if Microsoft had that kind of leverage on dev studios?
