If you buy more than two new games a year, you're in the minority

I don't buy more than two new games in a year which is why Game Pass has been great for me, now I play many more games and a greater diversity of indie games now that I can try them without committing to a purchase. I don't replay games so not owning them isn't a downside for me.

I'm willing to spend $20/month on Game Pass as an ongoing expense but never did feel great about spending the equivalent $60x4 on four games I could keep.

I guess I'm in the minority as well; not a Game Pass subscriber let alone own an xbox but I have been slowly acquiring games through Steam over the years, at most three titles last year. The most recent: Manifold Garden, BLACKSHARD, and Chaotic Era. To my knowledge, these are as indie as they can be in my books.
