PC Gamepass just going away? that doesn't make sense

I think I will trade/sell my XSX in for Switch 2 since XSX exclusive games will be on PS5 anyway and now they add this bullshyt. It's really pointless to have XSX right now

Article says presumably the $25 ultimate tier may be the only way to access it.

Yesterday's rental price, is not today's rental price.

Well...well...well I remember being shouted down by the Xbots when I mentioned this very thing happening in the future.

I'm sure one of them will come in with that 5 billion in revenue post like they always do but it never breaks down what of that was actually profit

thing is PC Gamepass is cheaper because you're not paying for online, and all the console tiers include online play
