No offense, but are you just trolling? I mean, I know your videos are trash tier trolling, whether intentional or not, but is this also just trolling? Your posts are laughable. Again, no offense. Take this reply here, for example. You're trying to hard to tell us that GamePass isn't profitable but then you supply a link that says not only is GamePass profitable, it's the only thing making profits for MS. Which is it?
But then if you actually read the link, you see it's just speculation and nonsense based on the fact that hardware is sold at a loss. Your link essentially says MS wants GamePass to succeed because it makes them more money and more money is good. What a revelation.

No, I am going based off numerous comments by people who actually work for MS and know the numbers.
| only777 said: And you fell for the oldest PR trick in the book. Let me guess, you saw "news" stories like THIS and took it at face value and didn't apply any critical thinking. Phil says Game Pass is profitable for them, but doesn't actually mention a time frame. So was it profitable that day? That month? That year? Anything is profitable if so have a narrow enough time frame. And has I showed in my video, how much that Microsoft has spent on getting Game Pass to where it is right now, will take them at least 12 years to make. So in what world is that a profit? You can sit here and say "but Microsoft had that cash on hand so it's not an expense". That's not how business works. they had $7.6 Billion on hand for the Nokia deal to make Windows phone a thing. But when Windows phone didn't take off that soon went south. Or was that not a loss either? |
More "trust me bro!" nonsense and kindergarten level math.
| only777 said: Yes, GamePass will not overtake Steam as the primary way PC gamers play Microsoft Studio games. Obviously GamePass is not going away from PC, but it's not going to see enough user growth on the PC platform for them to be able stop putting their games on Steam as well. |
They don't want to stop putting games on Steam. Just like they have GamePass on console but still release all of their games at retail and/or digital and Steam. This actually ties into that stupid link you posted above, but you're too biased to see it. Letting your emotions cloud your logic.
| only777 said: Also yes, GamePass will only live on PC by 2027 when I believe Microsoft will retire from the console space. |
That's great, man. You're obviously very emotionally invested in the collapse of Xbox, so go ahead and dream big. We all know what you believe, and we don't begrudge your rights to believe in really silly things. I mean hey, some people think the world is flat and that 5G turns you gay, who are we to judge.
Good luck becoming the edgelord of GameFAQS.
