I don't get this. MS said they had more than 25 million members back in April I think. Might be some more today.
And sources said more than 50% are gold members. So we have about 14 million paying users. So XBL fee revenue should be about 700 million USD every freaking year. That is money Sony or even Nintendo wished they had.
And to expand XBL to mobile phones you thought they would like to give it a broader appeal with prices for everyone. Sure they added content like ESPN, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, Party chat etc etc. But 700 million USD should be enough money for these apps.
The ESPN deal might be pretty huge, but they need to expand the service even more.
And I am not even affected by this.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
