Yes it is.

 

Losing your shit because MS doubled their subs from one quarter to the next  

 

Come and buy a drink whenever you want... but if quarter over quarter 2x the people keep buying drinks...  business is GROWING.  

Little too late to attempt copying my shtick. LOL

 

Good to see you admitting to losing, and trying to slink out of this.

 

Phil Spencer invited people to come drink.

 

And a large majority of them decided not to say.......but at least gets to say that X amount of people have been inside his house at one point or another!!!!!!!!

What does that say about Phil Spencer's house party?

 

Its not good enough.He must've been asking for something that they weren't willing to commit to.

 

You can't put enough lipstick on that pig.

Yeah it does.

 

Its a business platform that isn't making any money.

 

Reminds me of that Jim Cramer scene from the first Iron Man movie.

 

"You see that!! That's a weapons manufacturer that doesn't make any weapons!!!"

 

That's a subscription service that can't hold onto its subscribers.

 

Put as much lipstick on the pig as you want.

Phil told you it was... and he also told you to not worry about it.

 

Growth is growth bitch... you're NOT changing that fact... which is exactly what was stated.

Sorry.......you don't get to dictate what other people think of you.

 

Looks like a failure.......quacks like a failure..........its a failure.

 

Don't worry about what I think.

 

And considering that you clearly seem to be worried about me, to the point of getting mad......seems like you have a personal problem.

 

Has nothing to do with me.

The only thing you need to worry about sweetie is 2x from last quarter to this quarter.

 

That's defined as GROWTH... you're NOT changing that

No I don't need to worry about that.........they just admitted that TOTAL subscriptions number is counting cancelled subscriptions.

 

Like I said........put as much lipstick on the pig as you want......I already know the whole story.

 

You were WISHING that I didn't know the whole story.

 

But its too late. Thanks Benji! And thank you for pointing out the very tweet that led to you losing this entire argument.

2x more people from one quarter to the next... is growth no matter what they count  

 

And Benji's tweet doesn't prove what you're saying.  Total subs keeps rising.... that's GROWTH sweetheart

You can keep on telling me HALF of the story.

 

......and I'll be here to FINISH telling the WHOLE story

 

Counting cancelled subscriptions...........so, uh.....that's what Phil has resorted to doing, eh?

 

A GROWTH......of people saying "No" to him.  Impressive.

Growth of people saying yes... to using the service.

 

People saying "No" to him would mean they wouldn't use the service ever... LOL

Sorry......if they're not using the service.......they've said no.

 

You let me know once they START PAYING FOR IT.

 

And hopefully, they pay more than ONE DOLLAH!!!

No, because people who want to be playing Gears 5 is mass droves would be:

-Existing Xbox One owners

-Who would more than likely be existing or lapsed GamePass subscribers (hence, them signing back onto Gamepass does not increase the overall count, they're not a new subscription)

 

I already explained all of this in my previous post.......did you not see it?

So Outer Worlds on PC is just twice as popular as Gears 5 on Xbox/PC, then? Sure, makes sense.

Saying yes.

 

They're using the service... they join specifically to use the service.

 

All you need to know is that 2x the amount of people were willing to pay $1 than there was willing to pay $1 the previous quarter. 

 

Growth

Yeah it would make sense.

 

DO you have any evidence of Gears being popular on PC? Gears 1 Remastered came out.Gears 4 came out for PC.

 

Don't remember those games making much of a splash in the PC space. I was expecting the same of Gears 5 on PC.

Sweetie.......you can try telling HALF THE STORY all your want.

 

I'll complete the story every single time.

 

Revenue did not grow. They lost money.

 

Which means they are not converting into full-priced subscriptions.

 

Which means........they're saying "No"

It doesn't matter if they said no... they said yes to spending $1

 

2x more people said yes in the next quarter.

 

That's growth... and you're not changing that.
