Never said they were. But they're also not costing MS 3 billion $$$s per year genius. They're not FUNDING these 3rd party games wholesale... they're paying for them to be on GP. Most games also aren't being played by 14M people, let alone 30M+ GP has 30M+ subs per month. Again, that's ~3.6B per year. Phil said this about how much they're spending to bring content to GP: So based off what we know... they've spent over $1B bringing content to GP per year... but we also know those are one time payments and that's it. So on a service that is generating 3.6B

For real. The only way physical could ever become the dominant form of game delivery again, would be if they actually develop a next-gen optical disc format that could store 500GB-1TB of data, and have a drive with multiple lasers that could read as a sufficiently quick enough speed to use the SSD as a cache essentially.. and games grew exponentially in storage requirements. I think for games to truly wanting to push next level visuals, limited storage capacity of current gen Blu-Ray is definitely an issue. An Ex-Naughty Dog developer even said as much. They're hittin

You don't know how much they're paying. Again, you can easily estimate how much money they are bringing in per year on GamePass, and we know from their leaked and court ordered documents from the Epic case and Activision acquisition that they are NOT spending that much per year on GamePass. Period. As MS has acquired publishers like Bethesda and Activision notice how their deals for AAA GamePass games have dramatically slowed. They no longer need to spend that money on big 3rd party games.

Yes, it is... when that sub is recurring... and now you're just spewing BS. GamePass is bringing in $$$. Microsoft's failure to sell consoles has nothing to do with GamePass' model.. it has to do with their game development management. And let's be clear... MS are making more money than ever before from Xbox. Where they are "failing" is selling consoles.. and that's due to a systemic issue with game development and management. Nobody ever said 1 single sub for 1 month is greater than 1 purchase.

And maybe MS doesn't see ANY of that money from those two games you bought... or maybe they at most see 30% of it.

Obviously... It's has multiple purposes behind it. Getting people who haven't bought and played ER at all interested in buying it and playing the game at least up to the point where they can experience the new content Getting people like you who did buy Elden Ring but didn't play it to the end, to actually start playing it again and get at least to the point where you can experience the new content Getting people who bought Elden Ring and beat it or played to the point where they can experience the DLC interested in the game again and play the new content, and/or fi

Nobody said it was equal, Ghostz said it was better.. and he's right, assuming that person stays subscribed over multiple months. If all those 14M players were GamePass subs, and they've been subbed over the past 9 months.. that's 14M x $10 = $140M x 9 = $1.26B You know reliable recurring revenue is better for business like Microsoft than unpredictable 1 and done purchases.

https://x.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1802702745276662114 I hope we see Dragon Quest Trilogy HD2D here, which I think was teased by an insider. Also would love to see a Silksong trailer and release date for later this year. 🤞

Or you know, just a few months subscribed... Let's say half the people who played the game bought it, and the other half subbed for it. $7M x $70 = $490M 7M subs for one month @ $10 = $70M and lets say people really into the game spend at least a few months playing it. $70M x 3 months = $210M $490M+210M = $700M Again, you guys forget that GamePass, with ~30-35M subscribers is bringing in ~$300-$350M each month... EACH MONTH. $300M x 12 = 3.6B each year. I don't give a fuck what any of you clowns think... MS is NOT SPENDING $3.6B each year on 3r

David no P

Yeah yea, we know that no game on GamePass will ever be considered a success by you or anyone else here..

Referring to DOOM specifically... the game series that has always been multiplat Again, he wonders why we call him retarded

They shipped 12M copies... that doesn't mean 12M sales first day

Going to be amazingly hilarious to watch Starfield be the top selling PS game within a year or so

No he isn't. Show me where he's said that... and in the meantime I'll show you where Jim Ryan said that Sony is going to PC gamers because "they wont come to our house"

*yawn* https://www.gameinformer.com/news/2023/09/08/starfield-had-the-biggest-launch-ever-for-a-bethesda-game Starfield has already become Bethesda Game Studios’ biggest launch ever, beating previous releases like Fallout 76, Fallout 4, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Yea I do. You're begging. Keep begging bitch

No, it isn't.. The fact that it's been played that much, despite not being on the two biggest consoles, is a testament to how impressive it is. We're talking two consoles with install bases 2-5x bigger...

^ and he wonders why he's being called retarded

He admitted it

Look at him beg. He HOPES he gets all those games...
