My son disagrees with my decision to leave after that price hike. But, I set aside the annual amount in an “envelope” for him to buy games outright on steam etc vs renting them on Gamepass
Fuckin duh
It wasn’t just the price increase, it’s also that my fucking series x wasn’t an upgrade in experience at all, (fuck off loading time bullshit).
To be fair, Gamepass had 34 million subscribers before the price hike, so as long as they drove away less than 11 million, Microsoft still comes out on top after their 50% hike while having to provide services to fewer accounts.
Yeah, but from a business perspective the whole reason they raised the price was to make more money, not the same amount they made before. Their projected profits were probably based on current users so breaking even or not reaching those projected profits would be considered a huge failure.
They’d have taken a certain level of loss into consideration when they made the change.
They definitely wouldn’t want to break even on profits though.
Are they really that naive and stupid?
The fact that I need a game pass to play LAN games is what drove me away.
