It's not even a maybe. You let the script run automatically, you don't even do anything. And then you redeem gamepass codes.

all you have to do is install the extensions, then the scripts, and you do absolutely nothing other than to make sure to log in every morning while you're eating breakfast to check that the tabs are refreshing properly and c'mon, let's not exaggerate things...there's only one spreadsheet involved, not three...and i often find myself worrying that i'll make my quota for the moths, but that's the price you pay for free games, get it lol.

I have over 100,000 points so far. And game pass has over 200 games so I think it's worth it. It really is no effort but I get not wanting to do it.

YouTube, Facebook and other sites are requiring people to submit photos of their IDs for “verification” so it’s already kinda happening.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Yeah it's this, basically. I was super happy with game pass even when I was paying $10 a month for it (and getting way more value from it versus paying the same amount for Netflix). Without the Chrome extension I really wouldn't bother about the reward points.

But like you say - with the extension it's pretty close to zero effort, though I know why people can't be bothered.

Great.

So is this farming for renting access to games, bc getting to own an imaginary license to “own” games is what I’m interested in. It ain’t catching the pokey mons if they all escape the minute you miss a day of click farming.

Please note that at no point am I expressing interest in playing games of any stripe.

You can redeem your free MS points for free gift cards to buy free physical games in-store.
(Can also buy free digital games, but only on Microsoft platforms.)

This thread has gotta be one of the most unpredictable. Never know what you're gonna get when you click on the new posts. But I do like the new GamePass points mining direction it has taken. Truly this represents the spirit of the thread where free games are the journey, and not the destination.

I feel that I erred and people are getting a bit too caught up in the whole butthole thing. It was just a silly example of what the mining app might do -- not what I literally think will happen. I mean, it's much more likely you'll be required to send picture of your butthole touching another butthole to redmond. I assume there's a chrome tab for this as well, yes?
