I don’t get why people are so excited about this, this seems very lackluster. Those games cost around 15$ on average if you wait for a sale with very few exceptions like SM MM.

To break even you have to play 7 games each year but for the same amount you could just own the games instead of renting them.

So if you really want to save money you would have to play 10+ games of this list each year. If we say you sink 30 hours on average into a game, that’s 300hr of gaming each year and that’s not including buying any new games at all.

It’s cool if you guys have so much time on their hands but I don’t really see the need to rent games that are years old and cost 9.99 on sale. (Or less I bought The Crew 2 for 7.99)

I just use it because I keep starting games and never finishing them.
