I think it's still a good deal even for more casual gamers - I imagine it would feel worse to spend $80 on a game that you may put an hour or two into, if you ever launch it at all. I imagine most casual gamers will simply not buy many games; whereas on Game Pass you can browse, pick up a game (that would otherwise cost you an arm and a leg) for the few hours you've got for gaming.

But like another commenter points out, if you're playing games like Silk Song or other similarly-priced games, it makes more sense to buy the game.

But yeah, you're absolutely right: lots of flaws with it, and I expect it will just get worse, much like Netflix.

Long live Steam, which I still use and love :)
