  In the latest YouTube video, David Jaffe, the original author of the "God of War" series. It said that although the monthly fee for Game Pass Ultimate has risen from $20 to $30, it is indeed "a bit ruthless", it is "still worth the money" for players who often play new games.

Jaffe said: "We have known for a long time that subscription services will always increase prices. Like Net flix and Disney+ have increased prices, and Game Pass is the same - but it is still worth it." He further explained that if you buy all the games in Game Pass separately, it will cost about $700 a year, while the subscription fee is only $360.

  "You can play dozens of masterpieces, including AAA games like Call of Duty and Ninja Dragon Sword. This is definitely a good deal for players who like to try new games."

  Jaffe also responded to the criticism of "digital games lack ownership". "I don't need to own a game. When I pass the Ninja Dragon Sword 4, I will not play it again, so what's the point of putting it on the shelf?"

  He concluded: "Although the price increase is unpleasant, the value of Game Pass has not changed. There are new works every month, and there are always surprises when opening it." Jaffie also emphasized: "This is not a defense for Microsoft - it's just that it's a very worthy deal, that's all."
