Re: Microsoft Says It's 'Incorrect' That Xbox Division Is Now Targeting 30% Profit Margins

I really miss having Game Pass, it gave me so much enjoyment, but I’m not able to spend almost 40$ CAN a month. They sent me an offer for a dollar for one month (or something like that) to get me back, and then the 40$ a month after a month. That kind of offer is not going to work. They will need to make gamepass affordable again. At the price it is now, it’s better for me to buy more games I have forever.
But I’m assuming enough people still subscribe to it to make it work out for them, since they aren’t changing course.

The world could be saved and poverty eliminated with that kind of money, they should spend it on that. Oh wait, I forgot that the life of businesses and companies are more valuable than the health of the planet and all the life on it. Silly me for forgetting. Billions of dollars should absolutely go to large companies — saving the planet and mankind would be such a silly thing to spend money on.

Really? I thought their new goal was to alienate and drive everyone away from Xbox. That’s what they did to me. I didn’t want to, but I had to cancel gamepass. The price in Canada is totally insane now and not affordable. There is no consistency and stability anymore with the brand either, which makes it risky to invest in. It’s really sad because the Series X is fantastic. But their handling of the brand is all over the place. It seems safer to get the games I want on PlayStation. And Valve hardware is becoming very interesting, and has consistent messaging and staying power.

Re: Indiana Jones Dev: Xbox Game Pass Was A 'Hard Balance' Because Players Quickly Drop Out

This is horrifying. The tv streaming mentality is now being applied to games because of gamepass. This is a disaster for everyone.
The last thing we need is the type of metric Netflix uses to cancel or renew shows, being applied to games. I love gamepass as a consumer, but if this is the road developers are going down, having to design games specifically to do well in gamepass metrics, I wish gamepass never existed.
