I Don't Think Xbox Is Doing Too Well...
Ойындар
Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at what appears to be an increase to Game Pass from one of the largest companies in the world. The streaming market has been inflating in the last couple years and specifically with Game Pass with day one releases being locked behind higher tiers it makes me wonder just how well the service is doing and if Microsoft could have potentially lied in their legal filings. Thanks for watching!

@@Killthebatman87 yeah, but you could pay a one time fee of $60 to play online for the whole year. Now it’s a monthly fee only option that will cost you anywhere from $75 (only if you pay $25 every three months for core) up to $240 a year for ultimate, so minimum a $15 increase from what it used to be, or double the price just for the “standard” option of game pass. And as of right now the only two options i’m seeing on the xbox store from the console itself is ultimate and core.

I've been a PC user for at least 5 years now, and i'd like to say across every single game i've played i've encountered not a single hacker, and I play games a lot. You'll enjoy the freedom do steam sales, key websites such as Cdkeys that lets you but games at substantial price cuts, subscriptions (such as xbox game pass, previously 10$ a month compared to 17$ a month) are way cheaper than console. Adding onto that the absence of online play. Unless you're buying a super high end gaming PC you'll ultimately be spending less money owning a PC than a console. Accessories are less expensive to replace, most games are less expensive. My PC costs around 1k and it it outperformed any gaming device like it was nothing providing a high quality and high FPS gaming experience, my specs are a 6700XT and a Ryzen 5 5600x. If you can afford a PC thats decent i'd highly recommend it, but there is nothing wrong with staying on console. They're all still games at the end of the day.

How gamepads works would mean you could get multiple pairs of shoes that were chosen by the company or put on the service by the company and you can wear any of those pairs until the company takes those shoes off the store or until you return them and get another pair. You metaphor is flawed as it is very reductive. Plus, you don't have to pay for the pair of shoes, you pay a fee to use a wide variety of shoes for an allotted period of time.

the problem is that the game pass is such a good deal it's literally killing microsoft's gaming division. who is ever going to pay 70 dollars for whatever microsoft game comes out when you could play it and everything else you want for a month for like fifteen bucks? so instead of making seventy bucks per person every first party release, they make fifteen bucks once a month. plus they pay these other indies and shit to get their games on the pass. the server doesn't play into it at all.

@@True_Terror_Tales technically, it's a way to get people to pay $70 a game anyways. Muta called it two games worth, yeah maybe if you're buying ultimate editions like mk1 (trash), but that's really 4 launch titles. When I grew up, my family maybe bought one or two new games a year, MAX. Microsoft is making off like a bandit since they've managed to now cut off the secondary market. Now it only takes 3 months of consuming slop you probably would have never tried before/ would be paying $15 a title at most to have now paid the same price for ONE launch title that you actually intended to play. The thing about subs like humble is if you cancel it cause you don't like a month's offerings, you can still play the games you bought already. In gamepass you can't so you're basically on the hook to pay every single month. Game pass has never been a good proposition and the early pricing was only to acclimate people and blind them to the purchasing powers they've lost.

They haven't though
I'm traditionally a PC gamer. Given the quality, price and format of recent games (subscription battlepasses, micro transactions, etc.), and having missed the PS3 era, I decided to pick up a pre-owned PS3. All games purchased are on disc format. I'm playing games like Topspin 4, All pro-football 2k8, Fightnight Championship, Uncharted Series 1-3, EA NHL 14, MLB The Show 10, Tiger Woods Golf 14, NBA 2k11, FIFA 17, Madden 11, WWE 2k14, Twisted Metal 2, and more. I've averaged $12-15 per game, and I'm having a blast playing all these games as a first time experience. $70 for a game is insane to me. The value simply isn't there, especially given the fun factor in modern games has greatly diminished. I played along for a while. I did my share of battepass games, like Fortnite (back in the day), PUBG, but I'm done. I will never pay a subscription for anything again on principle. I would sooner forsake gaming altogether before succumbing to their desired model.
Honestly, I think this isn't "inflation." I think this is directly tied to the new call of duty release, which "coincidentally" comes out on October 25th. They bragged how black op is going to be day 1 game. Then turn around and up the price before it comes out. Edit - wrote this while watching video, before he touched on the call of duty issues.

They’re taking that old school money making idea to heart. “If you had a mowing business with 10 customers a week at $10 per customer, you’ll get $100. But let’s say you wanna make more money but don’t have room. You can say you value your work at $20 per customer now and even if you loose half of your clients, you are still making the same but with less effort with the room to add more/ new customers in the future.” I wonder if these hikes are for that idea, increase to a degree that even those choosing to leave will be offset by those that stay.
