Ironically, I expected as such: I figured the five or so views I get from this forum would be it. Instead I just sat here for 30 minutes reading this thread lol

GP is extremely profitable and MS will never announce its profits directly. They will downplay it to keep the price flexible in the future. On top of that, the GP/Live bundle adds another incentive to get gamer's to pay even more for Live which would be earning a fortune in itself. Two Major services bringing in billions a year is exactly why other companies will be following this eco-system soon. |
I don't think other companies are going to follow this eco-system entirely because then they're either "copy paste" replicas, or they'll likely not have MS infrastructure. People forget MS has more than just money: they have cloud servers all around the world that already serve their other products. MS has resources that go beyond money, so their ability to "upset" the gaming media with a sub service like Game Pass would be hard to match by Sony or Nintendo. Sony COULD try to invest in PSNow, but it would cost them in developing the necessary infrastructure, ORRRR the irony would be that they'd just rent MS cloud servers to do it lmao

The data literally says otherwise... Which even though the thread has mostly shut down these arguments on its own, is the whole "GP is bad for devs/publishers" and "GP kills game sales" and "GP isn't profitable" etc. etc. despite the data showing games on Game Pass still sell just fine on their own while increasing the sub counts for GP. The data simply says, "money" which is the only thing these companies are after.

That's total cool. Game Pass isn't for everyone and I get that. It's just funny when some start throwing around bs like; "game pass is bad for the industry" and "the games are all gaas" or whatever other crap takes they can think of. |
You forgot the "GP kills game sales" one! I love that one the most because GP itself IS the source of the money. Buying a game has the SOLE PURPOSE of providing money to the publishers/devs etc. GP also provides money to the publishers/devs etc. The irony is that whether someone is buying games or subbing to GP, BOTH are putting money into the gaming industry. BOTH actually serve the exact same purpose, so the "GP kills game sales" is literally just an e-peen measuring contest about how many units sold and not an actual understanding of how we, as consumers, feed the companies either way lol
| dx11332sega said: There's a right to not like gamepass , It's games library feels 90% western and 10% japanese except the big ones , Microsoft will never fix this , and I'm throwing the towel , Microsoft is too western and compared to Xbox 360 years in 2010 I always wanted Xbox to be more asian friendly than Xbox 360 , I started seeing too many western games on switch too now making it harder to navigate japanese games . |
While I also agree that Xbox needs more weeb reach, this is a moot point: Disney+ doesn't have enough anime for me like Crunchyroll. This is less a "right not to like Game Pass" and more about preference. If you don't like Game Pass for not having enough JRPGs, there's an angle there. Instead, you can freely feel that Game Pass is not right for you because of your preferences, but not liking the service because it doesn't have what you want is the very basis for a lot of the (ironic) dislike for Game Pass. Surely you know I wouldn't say any of what you said about Disney+ simply because it doesn't have anime like Crunchyroll...

You haven't met my wife yet. By now we're convinced she must have some kind of EMP field around her as electronics and her don't. No matter what laptop I buy it will crash on her. Same with her iPhone, random lock ups, always problems with internet, wifi and 4g. I have to reset the Netgear router at least once a day. The pvr crashes often when she uses it or won't respond. And all that works for me. I take over and it's fine... |
If it makes you feel any better, my sister is that one: anything electronic around here seems to have issues. And I've told her it's got to be her energy levels: humans technically run on electricity. Your brain sends electrical impulses everywhere in order to operate, and I'm of the belief that our energy can and does effect things around us. It's why I take good care of my things: I'm a firm believer that it's not specifically the fact that I always clean and take care of my stuff that actually keeps them going longer, it's that my energy towards it in this mindset is non-disruptive.
I mean, my Elite V1 controller is still working just fine ALL these years later, and there are only two issues: I had to swap the analog stick cap between the two sticks because one became loose (but did not affect operability, it just felt weird); and the rumble has done its slow wear-and-tear on the plastic and has shaken things loose (it makes plastic vibration noises when rumbling). I clean that thing a LOT and take good care of it, though, because it was a $150 controller haha!

I did not know this would turn into a larger discussion thread, but to those of you who actually watched the video and understood what I was on about, just know I appreciate you!
