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.

I said the comparison/complaint was odd because it was, I didn't say we shouldn't question the confusing structure, as I have even criticised that before. I didn't even see you criticise the confusing structure in that complaint, only make an odd comparison to when Sony gets the game versus when Game Pass Standard gets the game.
