To PS5 Owners: "Don't worry, we'll get Indiana Jones to you within 3 or 4 months, as soon as possible while avoiding the blowback from our pitiful fanbase. Please don't leave us behind PS-Sama."

To Gamepass Poverty Owners: "Wait a year and we'll see if we're feeling generous. You poor motherfuckers..."

Not that I have any interest for Gamepass on console (this being the perfect example why), but it sure feels great as an Xbox owner getting my weekly update of Xbox spitting in my face for absolutely no reason, when I'm doing my best to just quietly enjoy what little there is to enjoy...

I mean what, they didn't have any beloved IPs to give away or recently celebrated Dev Studios to disband this week?

What an odd comparison/complaint. Why compare when PlayStation gets Indiana Jones at $70 to when Game Pass Standard gets Indiana Jones? Xbox is still getting Indiana Jones 3-5 months before PlayStation at $70 like PlayStation will receive it.

Game Pass Ultimate still gets Indiana Jones and 70-80% of all Game Pass users are on Game Pass Ultimate already as of July 2023. If you're a Standard user then you can still buy Indiana Jones 3-5 months before PS as the PS users will be forced to.

You could sub to GPU for a single month and still comes out a lot cheaper than what PS owners will have to pay at launch.

Also...Existing subscribers of Xbox Game Pass for Console will continue to be able to access day-one games

Since 70-80% are using the higher priced version of a service that has a bunch of features you never use and don't need, we shouldn't question the confusing structure and worsening value of the other tiers?

The main angle of positivity Xbox has been claiming for several years is the value of their ecosystem, trying to equally support gamers regardless of their budget. Yet when Sony increased the price of PS5, Xbox increased the price of Series X. While Sony moneyhats games away from Xbox owners, they put Xbox games on PS5. When they're upset about the slow growth of Gamepass, they increase the price and make the console-specific tiers more unappealing so people will just begrudgingly accept the most expensive and unnecessary option. All of this while their market position is in the toilet and getting worse.
