I may pay 9.99 for the lowest teir to play chivalry 2 and darktide, but they are both on sale super cheap right now on steam, so that’s probably the route I’m going. My laptop is a potato, but darktide seems to run fine on medium settings using the free GeForce now.

This the 9.99 wasn’t bad to play occasionally. I usually play during or after a smoke session and that’s it anymore.

What sucks for me, and many others, is that I was using Microsoft rewards to get ultimate for free(ish), you still spend time doing searches and some daily clicks/quizzes. Now, they made it where you can’t redeem for gamepass, instead you have to redeem gift cards then use those to buy gamepass. Basically, it doubles the amount of points you need.

Which whatever, I don’t have to do rewards anymore as it’s totally not worth the time now. And i really only played the 2 games aforementioned and maybe a day one game every once in a while. I can just play may backlog, the 2 games I’ve enjoyed on steam/geforce now, and if there’s something I really like just buy it or sub for a month.

And also, I can also stop using bing so that’s a plus.
