Will probably be half price a week after release. Game is shaping up to be a catastrophe. Then when the low scores come in ? RIP Rod Fergusson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They will never be AAA big budget games fro m MS again. The part that stuns me is that game pass is doing absolutely nothing to sell hardware. People view it as some throw away service that's kinda just there. Then proceed to buy PS and Switch for full 60 dollar releases. It's a bit mind boggling actually. If people saw the so called value they'd be buying up hardware. Edited June 20, 2019 by Team 2019 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 the scary part is they've pretty much forced the entire xbox fanbase onto gamepass. It's literally a pillar of the console now. There's no sense in paying $60 a pop for new MS games... they're on HoboPass for $8. Every. Single. One. Not only will the physical disc market for xbox one games cannibalize itself, MS is forced to offer discounts on their games day one to entice buyers. This only leads to lower quality, lower budget releases. Why are they hiding Gears SP? We all know why, it's a tacked on POS and they don't believe in single player games. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) I think there should be at 3 month exclusivity to the digital store/retail release for big AAA games before going to game pass. Like you buy a the game and it's resell value is like 5 bucks the moment you buy it or something, and it fucks the budget planning for some games. They are tanking value of exclusives so much, with steam, game pass etc. Zelda is still 60 bucks for a reason. Edited June 20, 2019 by Team 2019 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Venturebeat: Microsoft Flight Simulator embodies Game Pass potential It has Flight Simulator, the single-player Blair Witch horror adventure, and the side-scrolling Battletoads beat-’em-up. That’s on top of its traditional blockbuster projects like Halo Infinite and Gears 5. And that doesn’t include the online multiplayer battler Bleeding Edge from Ninja Theory, or whatever studios like Obsidian, InXile, and Double Fine end up making when they finish their projects they were already working on with other publishers. These games no longer have to convince players to spend $50-to-$60 in a couple of weeks to end up as successes. Instead, they just need to contribute to the reason a certain group of people continue to subscribe to Game Pass. That’s why Flight Simulator makes sense again. As a standalone product, the game is a tough sale to that broader audience. Xbox Game Studios could try to change it to appeal to more people. Or it could try to add aggressive monetization to generate more revenue from a smaller audience. Or it could just stop making those games.But on Game Pass, Flight Simulator isn’t trying to win your $60 away from something else. It’s additive to the experience of subscribing to the service. You didn’t buy Flight Simulator instead of Halo — you subscribed to Game Pass, so now you get Flight Simulator and Halo and Sea of Thieves and dozens of others. And the list of games that keep people subscribing is going to look different for each person. That’s the point. Microsoft can afford to look a little bit deeper down into our individual tastes. Maybe Halo, Sea of Thieves, and Flight Simulator is enough to keep me paying $15 a month. For you, however, maybe the list is Halo, Fallout 4, and Outer Wilds.This completely flips the thinking when it comes to funding games. Instead of making a singular product that appeals to as many people as possible, Microsoft needs to release games to build a library that appeals to as many people as possible.

Well it's like asking how you hit a new 5 years sales low, when you launch a NEW console SKU that month. The Phil Spencer effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
