The cost of ultimate over the course of a year can get you multiple games that’s you’ll actually finish as opposed to a library of titles you’ll just graze.
And a few years back you could get the same deal for half the price and in a few years it’s going to cost even more. You’re getting slow boiled because you’re thinking “I’m still getting a good deal”. You’re getting a good deal until you’re no longer getting a good deal and then what? Best case scenario you simply won’t have any of the games you paid to play. Worst case (if Game pass becomes successful enough) gaming is fucked because it’ll become streaming services 2.0 where you have to have 4 different subscriptions active just to play the games you want to play, and good luck trying to buy games when they’ve been priced into high heavens just to make the subscriptions seem reasonably priced (MS already tested that with Outer Worlds 2).
Doesn’t matter how good Game pass was or is, it’s a poisoned chalice and it will irreversibly fuck up gaming if people continue using it.
For me, I still have many many many many games from the past I didnt play, many of which can be acquired through the high seas completely guilt free. Not culpability free, mind you, because the law is a bitch, but its not like im going to be picking up a brand new copy of Diddy Kong Racing(N64) anywhere ever.
If I need a modern multiplayer game to play with friends and not be a complete loner, theres no shortage of free-to-play games.

Forgot I’ve had it for a year but ended up buying expedition 33 on steam. I used the price hike as an excuse for cancelling it finally.
Also using it for minecraft, will just have to move over to an offline account. Oh well.
