not sure i wanna support now

I mean i get it but realistically especially with long ass games it seems really hard to not do mini bonding with your peers. Maybe nothing too crazy but just sharing brief excitement

Twitter console warriors are the lamest thing i’ve ever seen

it cracks me up lol

Have you seen KTT2 console warriors

luckily not yet I figured most people on the gaming sxn had a somewhat developed brain

I would never think they would do gamepass. Making playing online free could lead to a boom in sales that would make up for doing it. Even making it significantly cheaper

you see it lol

what are the chances a series s will be able to support ES6

idgaf abt graphics cuz it's a bethesda game they gonna be booty anyway

cuz if i purchase a series s I want it for this & es6 for it to be a worthy investment

ES6 is probably gonna be cross gen with whatever the next xbox is

link

if you really want to make an investment just get series x if you care about ES6 too .

Series X $800 in $aud

where as I can get S for 1/2 that price

ES6 likely going to be cross gen as someone else said so if you want to truly play it series s would be a mistake and fail that goal

There is no making up for the loss of that subscriber money. They already sell Xboxes at a loss and spent $70bil on an acquisition. They're not going to cut their only positive revenue stream. Game Pass is also loss leading and was a desperate attempt to claw back marketshare which backfired. They ain't doing something like that again. It ain't gonna happen lol.

Game pass is profitable. Already confirmed by phill

I mean I don't mind paying for game pass and I dont pay for online because I am on pc. I am just saying how they could shift things. I already thing they are infinitely more consumer friendly than others. They also are growing to accept unions

Microsoft must be losing money off of me cause idk how Microsoft rewards is profitable

Let them hate

profitable isnt a me problem

they making metacritic accounts

Game Pass isn't a consumer friendly play lol. Nobody would say Netflix or HBO Max are consumer friendly. None of the 3 manufacturers are even close to approaching consumer friendly. MS literally just increased the price of their machine. This is console war nonsense man. Just do some quick napkin math on what the opportunity cost of eliminating their XBL subscription and think for 10 seconds if they could possibly claw back enough market share to make up for that cost. They introduced Game Pass during a 2:1 generation and are staring down the barrel of a 3:1 generation. They need a marketing shift first and foremost, particularly in non-US regions. Xbox may as well not exist in Europe and Japan.

“ no one would say Netflix or hbo max are consumer friendly”??

Fam these streaming services are VERY consumer friendly and generous for what they offer for the price

Game Pass is def consumer friendly… More so than streaming services really lol

Because of PC growth. Should've made it clear I'm talking about in the context of the console. Their marketshare in the console space has decreased since Game Pass introduction, too.
