That was legal jargon because there is literally no way to know the actual reason for what they'd put on ink as far as a gamepass price increase.

On top of that the standard for subscription services is incremental price increases so raising the price isn't anything out of the ordinary.

That's why I shake my head when y'all make comments like these, on paper for the foreseeable future you'll never see ABK list as a reason for GP price increase no matter if it's true or false.

oh, so now it is "legal jargon".

Standard subs increase by 50% every day B.

:wow:
Yeah it was, because with all the parts that make up gamepass. It doesn't have to ever be "because of ABK" even if it act was.

The other reasons boil down to "it wasn't sustainable at that price"

or they need to sell more copies of their games (CoD) cause gamepass isn't clearing the difference.

and with the both of them you had/have a habit of shytting on others for having those opinions.

Why would I consign an opinion that doesn't line up with business trends, is made in bad faith and based on straight conjecture or hear say.

Saying this is why something happened without any facts or without it being out the ordinary is crazy.

:mjlol:

You can feel like that's the reason prices went up, but don't tell me that's reason and have zero way to support it.


That's crazy talk.

Spend 80 billion dollars on Activision and increase prices coinciding with the release of CoD 2 years in a row.

Well...let's say it's just an educated guess.

:wow:

There’s a difference between potentially more and basically all the games they make going forward they’re looking to have be multi-platform. They held a crisis event to reassure Xbox fans the sky wasn’t falling then later outright announced the sky fell. Why don’t they just say what they’re saying now upfront instead of saying just 4 games?

It’s all laughable. Nothing is changing until everything changes. One thing you can count on is nothing this corporation announces to reassure fans has any real meaning because they’ll abandon anything they say later.

They made these changes based on “player feedback” tho

I guess the question is, was it the plan all along? or did they try something out, like the results, and add more?

when Sony ported Horizon Zero Dawn to PC, was it the plan to also port TLOU 1&2?

Y’all remember when they said to the FCC that them buying activision wouldn’t raise the pricing of gamepass.

I do

:sas2:
It's a subscription service and they all increase in price. I can't think of a video game subscription service where the price remained flat. Nintendo, Sony, Geforce, Humble Bundle , EA Play, and others all increased in price.

I don't agree with the price hike because I don't see myself sticking with it when my sub expires in 2027. However, it's the nature of subscription services especially when subscriptions have stagnated.

Yeah, that's not my point though.

Do you think gamepass pricing would be increasing at the same rate if CoD was not Day 1?
