What is Grub doing in Highlands Ranch?
Anyway, this kinda shows how much of a gamble gamepass is. They can bump up the price whenever they want and there is nothing players can do about it.
it's the same for netflix and disney + and all that.
the only thing that makes gamepass worse is you can quickly estimate the numbers and realize that MS isn't going to make
enough money to justify putting all of 1st party on gamepass day-1 when they have something like 5000 developers in employment now. I made a spread sheet just for myself a while back and i'd estimate they'll need at least 90 million subscribers to make it "even" to the revenues direct sales was producing and that's ignoring revenue generated by gold. if you included that i think my estimate jumped up to 130 million.
i think it is obvious gamepass prices are going to go up to make up for the fact 100+ million subscribers just ain't going to happen.
