Airbnb was great when it all began, but now it's overrun by corporate vultures that buy up housing and turn it into illicit hotels. Not to even mention, it costs about the same as a hotel these days and I've never stayed in a hotel that gives you a chore list.
Like every other company lol. I remember when Uber and Lyft were so much cheaper, too. It's why I don't want gamepass to take over all gaming, or streaming to take over all physical video media. It always starts out nice, but eventually...
THANK YOU for seeing the writing on the wall. I keep reminding people of this.
Gamepass is unbeatable value. But if you give it market share you better believe after they jack the price a few more times, games willvstop providing a disc at all and just be "Gamepass exclusive" in the sense youvcan only subscribe to it, not buy it.
We are already here, for a decade now, The Crew players can't play their game anymore, and they paid for it.
True. Gamepass just takes that much further I think. Gasoline on the fire so to speak.
