The Friday letters page argues that Games Pass encourages you to play more games and not less, as one reader despairs at the idea of BMW DLC.

Back to formula So it looks like we’ll definitely get at least one major Assassin’s Creed announcement in September and I have no reason to doubt the rumours about the next game being set in Baghdad. That sounds like a cool setting but since it’s apparently just upgraded DLC from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla I’m going to assume it’s going to use the current role-playing formula for its gameplay.

I’m also going to assume, since it’s live service and convincing people to buy things that make numbers go up is the whole point, that Assassin’s Creed Infinity is also going to use a version of the current system.

What I would love to see is a return to the old, purely action-based system. I had hoped that the success of Ghost Of Tsushima, which is an old school Assassin’s Creed in all but name, would have encouraged Ubisoft to go back but so far there’s been no hint at it.

My hope is that Assassin’s Creed Infinity will not be the only new game for the future but will be like Warzone to Call Of Duty. So you’ll get the live service game, whether it’s free or not, and then other games on top of that. So maybe these other games will go back to the old formula. At the very least I hope they cut out the bloat because the idea of playing another game of the size and style of Valhalla is just too exhausting to even consider.Focus
