I gave you countless examples of the EXACT method being used here, I even waited until both netflix and amazon did the same shit.

no matter how much I tried to actually help you retards, you STILL took the bait.
This exact monetisation model has been used dozens of times, and you STILL bite the enshittification hook.

Always saw this coming, haven't used goypass in at least 3 years after Microsoft started trying to charge me for it multiple times per month. Disputed all their charges, cancelled the card, called support (who denied that it was happening despite my bank showing the same charges from them like 5 times in the span of two weeks), etc. I'll never give Microsoft access to my financial information again.

Normal people will just subscribe and unsubscribe as it suits them and your screeching will have nothing to do with it.
You might be SHOCKED to realize that the people who really want to own their games also have that option on XBOX and exercise it regularly.

I don’t see anything about advertisements at least
>>
>>722160484
The reality is things like gamepass in their current state make zero sense, it does not provide enough money to be financially viable. The actual price is probably something like 100 a month plus ads. Just think about it, do you really think it makes sense to have access to 60-80 dollar games on day one for 20 bucks a month. Thats 240 dollars, thats 4, 60 dollar games and 3 80 dollar ones. It makes zero financial sense, there is simply not enough money to go around.
>>

if you cancel goypass, you lose "your" games, though.

honestly don’t think Xbots get enough blame for this themselves. for sure blame the higher-ups, Phil, Sadya, all the execs and money men, but at the end of the day Xbox owners were happy and content devaluing their own ecosystem just to get ‘free’ Day One releases

I think it’s super retarded to do this because the value offered by Game Pass isn’t the same as TV and movie streaming services. Spending $60 or whatever on a new game is way more reasonable than $20 on a digital movie, and games don’t even take long to get discounts.
>>
Figured this day would come soon enough.
When Game Pass started it was an insane deal - $10/mo for the whole Xbox library and new games on Day One on both Xbox and PC.
Each price increase was a bummer but it was still a good deal if you played a lot of indie games and wanted to try a lot of the AA games at little risk.

But $30/mo? Fuck off with that. Ads too?
Cancelling that shit so fast
>>
>>722160484
I have never paid for a single streaming service in my life. And I don't intend to start now that they all keep jacking up their prices. $25 a month for this garbage? lol lmao. The Xbox division can't shut down soon enough.
>>
>>722163716
Leak was wrong about the ads, but still way too much to rent shitty Pajeetsoft games lol
>>
>>722163716
It was only worth it when they offered it for a $1. I'd take the dollar month, cancel, and wait for them to give it to me for a dollar again (which was pretty much every other month for years). Eventually they stopped and so did I.
>>
>>722160484
I mean, I basically paid 15 bucks for like 9 high profile games this year, I simply cancelled my subscription after finishing them, it's way too cheap, I could see it coming

It's interesting how they'll shift the narrative. It'll likely be that consoles themselves are meaningless, and they'll start chanting “PC master race” again like they did during the PS4 era.

>>722165581
It doesn't take a lot to read between the lines and know that it isn't though. All the deals they have to arrange with each developer and publisher to get the games on the service would have to be greater than the amount needed to cover lost sales due to the service. On top of that, they have never once indicated subscriber numbers, which means that number is low and always has been.

I've been saying this would happen for years. Xbox wanted to people to stop buying games and rely on Game Pass so they can trap people in the ecosystem and raise the price on them. People who have relied on Game Pass are now stuck with having to accept the new price or spend a lot of money rebuilding their library without Game Pass.

Take advantage of the cheap introductory offers then drop that shit when its no longer worth it.

>>
>>722165741
The instant they start throwing ad breaks into the middle of playing a game, is the instant every single person is going to unsubcribe from this garbage and just buy the game.

>New Call of Duty releases
>"Oh boy, I can't wait to hop in a lobby with my friends!"
>1 minute of unskippable commercials before you hit the login screen
>Login, go to multiplayer menu
>1 minute of unskippable commercials when you click matchmaking
>Get into lobby
>1 minute of unskippable commercials before loading into match
>Halfway through the match its time for another ad break intermission!
>Game over screen, have to watch another minute of ads before seeing the scoreboard
>"Oh cool, I unlocked a new gun, time to check my loaduts"

Gamepass is nice to occasionally sub for a month to try a bunch of AAA games I wouldn't normally play. If the price becomes unreasonable I just won't do that anymore. If true this is worthy of a shrug and nothing more.

It makes me sad because cloud gaming is literally the only way that you can play a good portion of Xbox 360 games because basically everybody who works on the emulator for Xbox 360 has not made any progress in the past decade
Several games that are great are still fucking locked to the consoles because Microsoft for so odd reason have no intention of releasing the rest of the Gears of War franchise on PC and have no intention of releasing the rare replay collection on PC which means that games like banjo kazooie, viva pinata and perfect dark are all stuck to cloud play or to console.

Can't even fucking play Fable two or three because Microsoft has not ported those games to PC since the Games for Windows Live era.

I love the corpo speak here, it's just enough information (that they want you to hear) to make you take the conclusion that things are going swimmingly.
>record high
Based on what time period? Total? Where is the line?
>This indicates that the business is generating profits
Does it? What profits? Where are the numbers? Huge profits or low profits? Does this also mean that the period before this record high it was not generating profit? That would mean this profit now is not paying for the previous losses.

Somebody pointed out that the funniest thing is that's not even true.
Because everybody has bought into the " deluxe" scam game companies are releasing their games three to five days earlier than what game pass gets them if you're a deluxe buyer. So they're not even really day one, theyre day five

Nobody likes the Switch 2, PS5 still has no games for it, and Xbox is fucking up everything they touch.

Phil destroyed Xbox as a brand. No one's buying another one which I doubt they'll even release another one

>>722168907
Don't get me wrong I don't buy deluxe editions. I only buy a deluxe edition of some physical stuff comes with it. Getting a game 2 to 5 days early is not important to me, but It does mean that calling the 75+ titles "day one" is entirely misleading because you're not getting these day one. You're getting these at the same exact time as everybody else who didn't pay extra. You're getting these anywhere between 2 to 5 days after the fact

I can't believe the price hike to $30 a month, that's just unbelievable how on PC it went from $10 to $30 with this change. I feel like this change ensures GP never takes off on PC and it probably kills the majority of their subs on PC.

it's basically free money so they have no reason not to. many of these companies (MS included) lure people in with cheap deals - like the $1/mo gamepass on PC - and once they have lots of numbers, they start ramping up ads and sub prices. very common tactic in the advertising market.
>>
>>722173064
I actually looked into it and PC GamePass got raised but "only" to $16.50 a month. That beats $30 but a 40% increase is still ridiculous and I can't see paying for that either.

That's what conditioning is. Newton's Third Law.

Stop giving money to assholes, as the money will impact everyone's decisions and eventually affect you down the line. That's why it's called cause and effect. Even retards will affect you when their numbers amass enough, you'll be collateral damage.

Doesn't matter the industry, it will always happen. You wouldn't reward and give money to a relative who is a jackass right? Stop giving money to shitty people or companies.
