Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 It's not taken off on PC in a major way it has on XBox. Even there the userbase is fairly limited. MS is actually losing money on it and their big hope to turn a profit is phones and Xcloud that we know for a fact will never take off. After Stadia, XCloud and PSnow launched the so called death of hardware for streaming and it being the undoubted future is more questionable than ever. No one expected such abysmal performance from streaming sales a few years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No one expected such abysmal performance from streaming sales a few years ago. PC marketshare is growing faster than console which has slowed down... which can be expected after going 2 years without releasing any big first party titles... PC side has managed to grow due to the inclusion of prominent PC oriented games and franchises. MS is making a profit off of it according to Phil Spencer. And xcloud is cintinually growing... lmfao Was the goal of this thread to just post the exact opposite of reality? Edited November 26, 2022 by Remij Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, you can hate on MS and their lack of first party output for it, but GamePass is a phenomenal value to a large group of people. If you're the type of person who doesn't care about building a library of games, and just wants to try a bunch of stuff to see what you end up liking... then it's incredible for that. And the fact that many developers have stated their successes with it, and that some games wouldn't even be pitched without GamePass existing, like Pentiment, goes to show there's value there for both gamers and creators.

sugarhigh 519 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I subscribed on PC for 2 years and don't miss it. I don't want my gaming options to be tailored around whatever's on the buffet. If it takes me 2 months to finish God of War, I don't want to be wasting $40 on shit im not using. It's a better deal to own the games I really want to play. I already have a huge library of Steam games I don't play, so paying a monthly fee for another pool of games isn't worth it. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only Microsoft could afford to throw money down the sink like that and only MS would threat their first party like that. Can you imagine the losses if you could get GoW Ragnarock for 10$ a month right now? Rofl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You get those microsoft points, log in to microsoft rewards with your account, there you can claim all kinds of goodies. Free game pass for 7750 points for example. On PC you get the achievements of course, but no points for it unlike on console where you do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhytre 2,753 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 When you put a low price on something that everyone can afford it loses value by default. It might be an easy entry to a lot of games but it's just poverty gaming for peasants, just like ROMs on a smartphone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
