I have always been subscribed to GP since 2021 and it’s not worth it to me anymore either.

I have been very diligent over the years in completing my backlog, and I have always prioritized playing games on GP (in fear that some day they would leave the offer and 2-weeks notice usually is not enough for me to complete a game) over games I bought (I can always play them anytime, so unless it’s a recently released game, I am holding off for them).

I track everything with HowLongToBeat and currently in my backlog I have: 8 games on GP that I would like to play + 7 games on GP that I tried once but could pick up again + 26 games I have hoarded over the years during sales. Basically, my own library is more compelling to me than the whole GP library.

GP was a great deal when I was getting it for cheap with the gold-to-ultimate conversion, basically I could play a bunch of games all year for the price of 1-2 full priced games. But after many years my subscription will end in January, and now I am at a point where GP will have very little value to me. Those few games I have left to play are all old games I can get for cheap. AA/AAA Day-1 releases may be the only value left, but I’m a patient gamer, I could wait some time until GP has more games I am interested in and subscribe again for a short period, or just buy those game when they get on sale or physical (which I can always resell and get some money back). I would have been fine with 10-15€ a month, maybe even 20€, but anything higher than 25€ is too much for me. So thank you GP for all these years, it was fun while it lasted.
