Where did you get that? Do you have any official numbers to back this off?

I mean, some people make that statement without any other evidence but assumptions to support it. 

Subscriptions are working, which is why everybody is getting their service up and running these days; why do we still doubt that today?

I obviously dont' have any numbers but even in this thread we had people posting they would sub to a service for a month to play a game and I don't think it is that rare.

Especially when Ryuu post a MS statement 'Thanks to COD we saw a huge bump in gamepass subs'  

^ I would describe it as 'Thanks to one game (COD) we saw a ton of people get gamepass'  Doesn't mean the majority is leaving after a month that's not what I have been saying.

I just don't see the value of adding GTA because it must be expensive to add to gamepass at the moment same for PC gamepass. 

And I know people will say 'But konni they know what they are doing they have the numbers!!!!'   while at the same posting MS financial statements like 'Our gaming division went down with another 5%'

You've lost me now because saying that people would sub to a service for a month to play a game very much implies that they're then leaving the service after that month, Lol. But you're saying that's not what you're saying, so what are you saying? People are subbing to a service to play a game and then not leaving? Okay...? Lol.

Also "even in this thread" I would rarely use hardcore gaming forums to make an assessment of the wider general public, a mistake that many hardcore gamers make, if we represented the general public then Call of Duty, Roblox, Fifa, Fortnite, etc. Would all flop because all I ever see from forums like this is that those games suck and people shouldn't be playing them, Netflix wouldn't increase in subscribers when everyone in forums says they're cancelling their subscriptions, Lol.

You're making an assumption of GTA V's cost and I bet you would be one of the first to complain if it was GTA V only on PC Game Pass, Lol. GTA V has been popular every time it has been put into Game Pass and it has been put into Game Pass like 3 times now, I'm pretty sure they're not putting it back in (multiple times) for shits and giggles, Lol.

Xbox content and services (aka Game Pass) revenue was up last quarter, PC Game Pass subscriptions were up, Cloud Gaming was up, overall revenue declined because of hardware collapsing but gross margin (aka profits) increased 15% in the More Personal Computing and Gaming was specifically singled out as the driver of that growth.

This seems like a really weird thing to get hung up on, I really don't understand complaining about them adding something to Game Pass, Lmao. Sometimes, I think you guys are never happy, Lol. It'll likely be in Game Pass for 6 months as well, which would mean they will pull it out around October time, likely planning to remove it right before GTA 6 release and yes, I assume Microsoft has the data to show that a lot of people played it in Game Pass the past 3 times it has been in there.
