Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans (Ultimate $29.99/mo)

[Deafheaven]

These nikkas are crazy. They keep bringing up examples of two games that cost a total of 70 dollars in response to why this service is worth almost 400 a year

50% increase in price

well ackshullyyyy guys this is a win if you like games


shyt lets throw hades in there too. thats under a 100 for the top 3 games this year.

all long ass shyts too the normal gamer is not completing in one month.

Cryininthecut still playing tight end defense for Xbox shills will never stop being hilarious. .

That nikka gonna be on Yotei tomorrow like shut up lol.

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

nikkas in her posted up talking about price, value and money while they all got PSN essential for 9.99 a month at the very least and don't even play multiplayer games like that.

Worse. Paying for the highest tier just so they can use cloud streaming on their Portal. And that's not even the whole library.

Yo let's be objective here. These are all good to great games to most people (I don't like some of them):

Black Ops 7
Outer Worlds 2
Ninja Gaiden 4
Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Silksong
The Alters
Oblivion Remake
Doom The Dark Ages
Avowed
Gears 1 Remaster
Ninja Gaiden 2 Remaster
Wuchang

This is just off the top of my head. Now compare that to what Sony released on PS+ all year. I could be wrong but only FBC was a launch game.

You're paying double + of what you'd pay for PSN to access those games.

If thats worth it to you, cool.

I'll wait for sales on the majority of those.

half of those shyts literally on sale right now on steam lol.

only these coli nikkas would say a 50% increase in price is fine. shameless

 

[gurf]

Relax, there are folks posting in here RIGHT now that ate that 33% PSN price increase that didn't add ANYTHING and only had a few negative words to say about it overall.

A few "negative words" is a lot more than you and the squad have been doing in this topic.

We are not the same.

If you are waiting for sales then the lesser tiers of gamepass would save you money.

at that point I'd sub to PS+ as it's the same price and has more games.

You aren't getting those games on PSN.

Which goes back to what these guys say about how its cheaper to subscribe to Game Pass then to buy 5-6 of those games at launch.

$30 to play Ninja Gaiden this month on Game Pass or $70 to buy a game you will only play once.

pay 30$ to play Ninja Gaiden for a month. Or pay 70 to play Ghosts of Yotei whenever I want...

 

[Deafheaven]

spent 70 bill to buy activision because they know its always a couple retards out there who will subsidize their idiocy.

 

[Deep_Black_Conscious]

It’s bad because you don’t own the games. You’re paying the price of 5 AAA games for access to the catalog as long as you keep paying. The moment you stop your access is gone and you own nothing. The mass market is not trying to pay $30 a month for access to Game Pass.

It doesn’t really matter though because this is Microsoft’s off ramp to the business model. They can get people to quit Game Pass gradually. This won’t be the last price boost either. They’ll just keep going up on the price until most customers are gone then shutdown the service with minimal blowback when it no longer makes sense to keep it going.

You don't own the games you buy digitally either. Any of those games can be delisted and unavailable unless you bought the game physically. Worse case scenario you buy the games you played on gamepass when they're on sale. You get to play the game along with a number of other games without having to pay for all of them full price for $30. A number of people never play a game they have beaten again. This is simply a digital version of a rental service, a service a good amount of gamers have used at some point. Obviously there are pros and cons, yet someone who chooses to use gamepass knows this already. This is not any different than these type of services for tv shows and other entertainment that you don't own. You could choose to buy a physical copy, yet you stream them on services such as netflix for the convenience along with access to other shows while paying a set amount.
