Does someone wanna ask Phil why console gamepass is $1 more than PC Gamepass, on top of us being forced to buy the core gamepass to play online? Basically forced to buy gamepass ult (which I have) but this shit makes no sense. Why not just include online in Console GP and have this core shit priced lower lol or even better match PC and make online gaming free since it's the same ecosystem and servers...

I agree that the price differences between Console Game Pass and PC Game Pass should be adjusted but Core Game Pass is literally the exact same price as Xbox Live Gold, nobody is being forced into anything, nothing is changing for most people, Lol.

I'm so baffled by this angry reaction to what is simply a rebranding, my issue is, while I do agree with these complaints, they've been complaints which have existed for years now and only now people are complaining about them. The rebranding when judged on its own seems like (mostly) a good thing to me, with a few adjustments to be made.

At worst, nothing has changed for the consumer, aside from they're losing GWG but in exchange for a collection of 25+ older titles, which will be expanded to overtime (maybe monthly?). For new audiences, this might actually provide more value than the current GWG which is all ancient titles that nobody cared for.

If this was simply called "Xbox Live Core" and instead GWG was swapped for a catalogue of old 1st party titles, would this anger still be the same? Lol. Because that is essentially what this is.

Yes, nothing changes aka console gamers still get shafted 

You need this or GPU to play online

So, like most people that gamepass you want online you either need 

$10 - core + $11 - gamepass console OR $17 for GPU

meanwhile PC gamepass is a dollar cheaper, free online, and even has EA play for $10

Even going the cheapest route console players are still paying 70% more to simply have gamepass+online

This is the same shit situation i've been complaining about
