Doesn’t it cost 15 now? Or is that with Gold included? Anyway, unless Microsoft is running a charity, they’re gonna have to significantly increase that monthly price to earn a profit. If they up it to 20, will you stay?
Gold included, probably, if there are no deals. I play time eaters like Destiny. I MIGHT buy 1 full price game a year. With Destiny expansions on Game Pass, it's basically paying for itself. If not for GP, something like Doom, I wouldn't bother until it's like 10 to 15 on sale. I like those games, but I will most likely beat the campaign once and never touch it again. Same with Metroidvania games. GP and GWG has me playing a bunch of fun games I otherwise would have never touched, and a backlog that gives me something to do for the foreseeable future.

:ehh:

These digital PS store sales are quite brazy, I don’t think I’ve paid 60 for a game since GTA V in 2013. I’m sure it’s the same on the Xbox store.

Makes sense. They want to increase Gamepass subscriptions and having Elder scrolls and fallout exclusively on there will boost numbers. Not quite sure why people thought these games will be on PS5.
I said from the beginning that the only way these games hit ps5 is if Sony bends the knee and accept gamepass, which would be the death of that psnow bullshyt.

Not needing to sell games on different consoles to recoup is not the same as not selling games on different consoles.

Do you really think Microsoft is going to ignore that massive elephant in the room which is the Sony Playstation customer base(aka tons of $$$ to be made) by saying 'You know what, Elder Scrolls 6 is Xbox exclusive.' Cool they do that and then what happens? Do you understand how much money Microsoft would be potentially losing out on by freezing out like what 60%(probably closer to 70%)of the console gaming market? From a business standpoint that doesn't even make sense bruh, Microsoft could make more $$$ off Playstations than they would Xbox's yet you think it's a ludicrous idea?

I aint a stan bruh, I'm just speaking facts to you bro what you saying could happen but from a business standpoint it makes ZERO sense, especially since Elder Scrolls and Fallout alone are not going to convert Playstation owners to Xbox. If Microsoft would of gotten the exclusive rights to Call of Duty or Battlefield that would be one thing, but not Elder Scrolls and Fallout bruh.

Funny exactly what I said would happen, actually happened. Microsoft don't care where you play their games at as long as you are playing them and you are paying somehow; whether it be a subscription or you outright bought the game. Microsoft is making a lot of money this way too. Low key it was a genius business move and it forever cemented Microsoft in the gaming realm too, whether they make Xbox's or not.
