Guessing you buy all your music and don’t stream tv/movies? 

Music is such a poor analogy.  There's plenty other forms of monetization - shows, merch, youtube, etc. Spotify/Apple Music are both known to be terrible for artists not topping the charts. If it was the main form of making money the industry would be so much smaller.

 

TV/Movies is a great analogy though, and look at what's happened there. Content is now spread across countless services - Netflix, HBO, Apple, Disney+, Hulu, Paramount, etc. etc.  Look specifically at the established services and how they operate - Netflix and HBO specifically, they strive to release just enough content to keep you subscribed. Why do you think HBO has started putting out new seasons of shows every two years instead of every year? Because it's a waste of money. You're already gonna start subscribed for their other content.

 

Microsoft is still in customer acquisition mode. They're taking a loss on the service willingly to get subscribers. They have no problem spending money on studios/games to do that.

 

So what happens when Microsoft gets done spending money and starts wanting to actually make money on Gamepass? You think they're going to be releasing heavy hitters every month with all their studios when they can release two games a year and still keep you subscribed?

Didn’t answer the question. Do you use streaming for music/tv/movies?

Music yes.

 

TV/Movies, I have a plex server, not paying for 8 services. I don't watch much TV outside of basketball though.
