I love it when you know you've lost an argument, and you start doing this stuff that you're currently doing right now. Because you're going to get really pissed by me continually popping you in the mouth as your gums begin swelling. LOL You're basically demonstrating to me how butthurt you are.......and I simply get more "free posts" to celebrate. Its a win-win for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TLHBO 2,162 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Microsoft is just trying to lower the standards of gaming. Take a look at the lemshits on here, furballs like JonB. They don’t play anything but Shamepass. Why wouldn’t you? “Oh that game looks ok…hmm but I don’t really wanna spend 20 bucks on it, I’ll just wait and see what’s on Gamepass this weekend”. That’s how it works, it lowers the value of games in the eyes of gamers. It makes people hold off on spending money on anything new because they know there will be a (inferior) alternative on gamepass We’ve seen factions get desperate and go dumpster diving when they’re in a drought. How many cycles do you think it would take to turn a “gamer” into someone who only eats whatever microsoft shits out at them via gamepass? 12 months of gamepass and that person is a lost cause they’ll never buy another quality game again, they’ll only play what they get for free on shamepass Also this way Microsoft gets to control what you see and play. Bleeding edge, Grounded, sea of thieves, you’ll play so many flops you’ll forget what an AAA game feels like and thats right where microsoft wants you, because you’ll adjust. It will be the new normal. This way they dont need to soend money or have talent to make good games, they can just shit out crap and push their sjw message forever. Gamepass is downright sinister and out of all the shitty things microsoft has ever done in gaming (and thats a lot) this is by far the worst. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they arent, i buy them. Its that simple. GP is massively popular and successful . Good to see that bothers you LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,250 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 GP is growing and its good for the gamers in the Xbox universe...... But GP is not "successful" as yet for MS. GP games rarely sell well on Xbox (confirmed by NPD themselves) And GP is still a loss leader financially (its a long term investment, not a short term goal). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Microsoft already tried to sneak in a price hike, somewhere. They tried doubling the cost of XBL Gold, overnight, out of nowhere.......and people immediately screamed them down. And what happened, after that? We got a financial earning report from them saying that their Xbox content and services revenues were down 4%. My theory is that the only GROWING of GamePass subscribers came from people who stacked up on XBL Gold and did the $1 conversion to GamePass. And that's a one-time thing, and those people will never be able to do that again on their Xbox accounts. if Microsoft had hit 30 million subscribers, they would be issuing a press release, easily.

jehurey 3,230 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Quote In a fireside chat with Yahoo on Sep 23 posted above, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick and Phil Spencer were talking about gaming. Around the 34 minute mark here's the exchange: SZ: Phil didn't pitch his own service, which he could...but you've got about 30 million subs Phil. Something like that(?) PS: *chukles* The last public numbers we announced was 18 million. SZ: *nervously shifting* Oh for some reason I thought it was more. *laughs* It's more than 18. Anyways... Yeah. Now we know why Phil was nervously laughing. he was doing one of these: 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TLHBO 2,162 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 This is actually better for Sony. PlayStation is definitely the premium product next to Xbox, it’s a luxury item. Gamepass is bargin bin gaming, I wouldn’t br surprised if kids get picked on in school for playing games on gamepass rather than owning them outright on PS5 At least in most of the world anyway. America’s xenophobia keeps xbox strong there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,230 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 They started selling $1 promo passes again for PC. And people are reporting that people who have previously used the $1 before are still eligible to use it again. So if you guys want to sign up for another 3 months for next to nothing, Phil Spencer could sure use the help. I had always figured that they are struggling with GamePass on PC. Anybody with a gaming PC built within the past 6-7 years should be able to play almost all of the game library.......and it just $5 a month. So why don't have 20 million, 30 million, 40 million PC owners signed up on GamePass already? You can get every Bethesda/id PC game for less than $5 a month. The (real) hermits just aren't buying it. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
