Full purchased game stopped working after canceling Game Pass Subscription

people have made the same mistake as in the following thread

link

what you have there is a receipt for credits.

if you purchased credits to buy the deluxe version in gamepass pc then all you did was buy credits and an upgrade to deluxe version, not the actual base game itself.

the link above will be a good read.

steam is the better choice. even the epic store is 100% better.

Yes, I was forced to buy credits there was not an option to buy the game directly. I understand you completely so now my issue is... there was absolutely nothing stating I was purchasing an upgrade. If I thought that I would have gladly paid another $50 at the time just to keep out of a subscription that I had no interest in keeping. Since my original post I have forked out an additional $1 for a Game pass subscription to see if I'd get the game back. I am able to download and play the game however, I no longer have access to the Premium Deluxe features. FFS I don't even care about the money, I'd gladly pay the full amount again so I could have the game. I just cannot do it on a platform I cannot trust. I'm going to steam

I have come to the long over due conclusion that Microsoft's marketing including Game Pass is a scam.

I found a work around for purchasing the 3 months of game pass for $9.99. If your game pass membership is set to expire soon, cancel your subscription and also cancel your recurring payments. I had to do all of this from Microsoft support cause it wouldn't
let me do it myself which is ridiculous. Anyways after I canceled my game pass subscription and my recurring payments it allowed me to purchase the 3 months for $9.99. Hope this helps all of the existing members of game pass that Microsoft doesn't give these
benefits to.

You can cancel your current subscription at http://account.microsoft.com You may want to verify what type of Game Pass you entered. If it's Ultimate, you should still have access to Game Pass on PC.

If it is just Game Pass for console, after you cancel you would have to purchase a Game Pass for PC subscription. It can't be converted to a different type of subscription.
