I knew Gamepass was too good to be true. This hike must be in order to keep funding Gamepass.

This increases the cost for the type of people who only buy and play shit like CoD and FIFA and the other yearly sports games, which was one of the groups the Series S was supposed to targeted at. Also on Playstation consoles, you don't need PS+ to play F2P games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Warzone, etc online. On Xbox you do, so this just widens the gap between "Cost to play Fortnite on Xbox" and "Cost to play Fortnite on Playstation". --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is such a laughably stupid move. Literally doubling the price without adding *anything* in the process.
Currently Gamepass is 180/year. As a savvy consumer I already have gamepass prepaid through late 2023 and only paid about 150 for it. I play on a One. With all that said, this price hike basically assures me I will never buy a series X. I already figured that by the time I need to renew the price will have gone up, but the way theyre pricing gold now has my very concerned that within three years it wont be unreasonable to expect Game Pass to be like 250/year or even more. I simply dont have enough time to game like that to where a price that high would be worth it. --- I have trouble concentrating because I have 80HD. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Anyways this also reeks of Microsoft announcing an absolutely unjustifiable price increase and then coming back and saying "Okay it's actually going to only be $7.50/month" which is actually what they wanted all along.

Phil probably went at their neck for this after all the good will he has been building up I like Phil but he likely made the call. It's possible he had some pressure to but surely the final decision was his. But I can see the heads of 343i being so absolutely pissed about this. This would completely cut the legs off Halo Infinite going F2P. I can even see companies like Activision and Epic being pissed at it.

Wasn't Gamepass supposed to be the successor to XBL for games and multiplayer? Why the hell have both co-exist when you can have one grand service for that high a cost? See, I was thinking this was what they were doing-- raising XBL so that more people will switch to GPU, which is a better deal if you're using it to play a bunch of games that you don't have to buy. That does seem to be the way they've been moving their business model. ... Copied to Clipboard!
