That's the point. Look at each of those games and think of the cost to make them individually. They're not getting half of their development money back having those on the service day 1 at $20 bucks a month. Hell $30 bucks is still not enough. It can go up to $38-$40 within the next six months especially since 2026 is the year all of those developers they published should start dropping games

Game Pass on its own probably isn't profitable, but when you consider the overall business, including sales on platforms like Steam and PlayStation, you probably see a different story. And that's probably why you see a big difference in the quality of games offered today versus the years before.

All this runs parallel to how Sony and MS sell their consoles at a loss, and use the rest of their business to generate profit.

they aren't selling consoles at a loss anymore. shyt is dead.
And again, Xbox started this dumb shyt for paying for online multiplayer. Of course others are going to follow. At least when Sony did it, you got games to go with your subscription. Xbox reluctantly started it cause it was a fleece for them FOR YEARS. The games they gave you were so ass too. :mjlol:



Before your heel turn, you constantly pointed out all the dumb shyt Xbox was doing.
It's just hilarious now that you gotta keep lumping Playstation in with XBox stupidity.
Unlike the XGoofys on here, Playstation Brehs don't give Sony a pass for the dumb shyt they do and defend their every move.

But back to this latest dumbas move (on the heels of a SECOND price increase in the same year), what a bunch of morons. :mjlol:

How Phil continues to be employed is incredible. It's obvious the higher ups are tired of the shenanigans, so why not just clean house and go full publisher.

This is just stan babble.

Focusing on who started it over 20 years ago, rather than the fact that both console platforms are scamming by charging for online today.

I made my PC rig this summer and I have no regrets. Will be coppping a Steam Deck in the foreseeable future. CDKeys has kept me well fed and my pockets in good standards.:russ:

Consoles have plateaued and the online service provided isn’t a good value now. Microsoft is sending very conflicting messages with their pivot to a subscription model.
