3 months of Xbox Game Pass for PC for $1

[Accursed]

Exactly. With Game Pass you keep them for 1 month, and the games may be removed at a later date. $15 to rent a game isn't a good deal.

I grew up with Blockbuster, $20 a month to have a single game out at a time, or $5 for a week and $1 a day there after, again for a single game. To a teenager that was a good chuck of money.

"...isn't a good deal" is pretty subjective to whether you like to play games as soon as their released or if you don't mind waiting for a particular price point, or wait even longer for maybe EPIC to eventually have it for free. It's the case with movies to; are you going to watch while it's in the theater and pay $12-15, watch it streaming later for $5, or wait for it to be on broadcast TV for free.
