I will most certainly be cancelling my Xbox One gold account when the trial expires. I don't like to play multiplayer with griefers, and the "free games" are a complete waste of time.
As it is usually the case, YMMV. In my case, I feel like I've gotten some pretty good games, especially on the Xbox 360. More specifically, I've really enjoyed Halo Reach, Witcher 2, and Hitman Absolution.
The amount of content they provide for free, in addition to the spectacular performance of their network for multiplayer makes XBL one of the few things worth the price in gaming.
Steam is better though... It's free. You also get free games, it's also got a better network than XBL. (I actually have servers that aren't an entire continent away.)
So no... It's not worth the price from those perspectives. It is worth the fact that it also essentially subsidizes your hardware costs, but games are still far more expensive... So...

Don't know anything about the IDARB, but Brothers has a wonderful story and is very unique to play. Sniper Elite V2 is a very fun FPS.lothinator - Thursday, January 29, 2015 - link
