Pay full price, it’s worth more than they’re charging it for.

I agree, I was of the mindset that I wasn't going to buy it at launch because too many games are broken at launch, but then I the reviews were all great, and I learned that there would be no microtranactions and I realized that this is the type of game I want to reward by buying early and paying full price. I've not been disappointed.

Okay? I already said I am going to buy it but it would be great if it was on Game Pass which I already pay for, which apparently is downvote worthy that I am a bit poor at the moment.

People can be weird, don‘t worry about it. You wait until it costs whatever it‘s worth to you, not others.

Nah, you didn't mention anything related to you only being able to afford gaming via GamePass in your current situation, so it can't be that. Maybe your comment just didn't jive with people on its own merit, completely unrelated to your financial situation. (I don't have any particular feelings about your comment in either direction, so I'm just speculating.)

It'll get it on Steam later, the implication was there. Odd, though. I was considering console until I saw how the frame rate is: "frame-rates are in the low 30s in performance mode (with some screen-tearing) and a nearly locked 30fps in quality mode" (Eurogamer). Definitely getting it on PC, eventually.
