jehurey 3,230 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Just now, Ike said: Or conversely just made all the acquisitions for selling them later too which is going to be horrible. because the FUCK is going to value Bethesda and all of its studios............for $7.5 Billion dollars? Nobody is going to value them that high. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the original Zenimax people and Todd Howard try to buy back their own IPs for pennies on the dollar. Or Epic Games comes in and picks up several IPs for pennies on the dollar. Microsoft already did this one around the early 2010's and was closing studios left and right because they needed to cut their losses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You don't even know how their internal target was derived, and it doesn't matter either way. You've got Sony losing 10 million subs for PS+ and it's brushed off but Microsoft gaining millions for their game sub service and it's somehow worrying. You guys are lunatics.

It doesn't actually matter how they projected their target, they didn't make it. Crafting it to fit your narrative is you just making shit up to salve your ego.

You guys are fake news. 37% isn't a large growth figure given that they only moved up 2 million from 18 to 20 between January and now and were way below their projected targets.

You guys are fake news. The growth is good but apparently not as well as MS had hoped, by their own metrics. Yeah, it's a silly argument but it's not something you would condemn if people used it against Sony or Nintendo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cooke 2,026 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 13 hours ago, jehurey said: actually it does. Its their FISCAL YEAR 2021, which based on this press release: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Investor/earnings/FY-2021-Q4/press-release-webcast It means that it covers July 1, 2020 up until June 30, 2021. So what they are saying was that, from Summer 2019 to Summer 2020, GamePass was growing pretty rapidly. but in the middle of the pandemic, it slowed down considerably. This includes the most recent 18 million subscriber figure.........that was around early February 2021. So from February 2021 to the end of June 2021, it remained anemic. it is probably still in the lower half 20-million range. The way you type is triggering.

From the last known number of 18 million from February. So in six months, YOU WERE PROJECTING 66% growth. Hell, you were DECLARING it, that it has already happened. And now you're sitting here trying to tell us that this 37% growth over 12 months is "great" Edited October 20, 2021 by jehurey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Incels are always the ones who make safe space jokes unironically, while aslo asking for safe spaces of their own. We all know that this has nothing to do with the integrity of the 15th re-release of this game and just you guys being salty about people you dont like being catered to.
