This is why I can't bring myself to buy into Gamepass. It may be a good deal now, but we see this happen with every steaming service. Lowball the price to bring people in, then keep bumping it up until it's not such a great deal anymore but people depend on it for their content. I'd much rather 'own' my games. At least as much as is possible nowadays.
Honestly, if you play only a few games a year on release through game pass, your subscription is worth it. Even with the price hike, it's a great deal. You can also refill your account with cheap 3-months Xbox Live Gold cards for like 10$ for 50 days of Ultimate. That's usually what I do and I'm good until 2025 so far and will keep doing it until I reach 3 years, which is the furthest you can go IIRC.
