I did the $1 for 3 months of game pass also. I didn't run into the issues you did though luckily. Its already been worth the $1. I tried out a final fantasy game I thought would be cool but it turned out I didn't really like it. I'm on to Fallout 4 now. I'm not sure what the full price is in U.S.A. but I'm still on the fence as if I will have time to enjoy the monthly subscription.
