[@angeloluna529]

@@spunkysamuel games these days priced at 70 dollars don't deserve that price point due to them sucking hard like starfield and the madden games. Games back then were expensive because the cartridges were expensive to make as well with the inclusion of shipping and storage of these games. Dvds are cheaper and use up less resources to make than a cartridge which means the price of manufacturing video game cds drastically went down, which is why games on the ps2 were mostly 40 to 50 dollars. These days, there's no excuse for a AAA game to be 70 dollars when they're ditching physical copies for digital.

But if you're only interested in Xbox Live, going from $60 a year to $75 a year is STEEP! Not to mention, these kinds of small price hikes are how gouging starts. Sure, it's $3 now. But in 2 years, it'll be another $5, after that $10, and before you know it, Gamepass is $300 bucks! I'm exaggerating a little (obviously), but small changes that lead to big differences are how things get normalized. We all laughed at Oblivions horse armor, and now we have CoD charging a dollar for crosshairs! I'm always skeptical of these "small" changes because they never stop at "small" Anyway.

I told someone that game pass in its current form isn't profitable for Xbox since people would rather pay a small subscription fee than pay $60-70 for an individual game and they said they need a citation 💀 Holy Hell the copium bro. Xbox isn't paying you to play defense for them man, they can't afford it

Dude Take 2 is being just as shitty right now. They laid off the entire KSP 2 team. Judge the game how you will, but they put 70 people (in one studio) out of a job because of earnings JUST BEFORE GTA VI around the corner. Like they’re going to make so much money and they fire people because earnings took a small loss. Then they have the BALLS to take the indefinite early access game they don’t like and laid off the studio of on Steam that already costs $50 and put it on sale for 20%. Aka $40 DOLLARS FOR A BROKEN GAME. Then it seems they’re quietly trying to shut down the KSP forums, aka the public repository for MOST MODS, by just not paying the bills and the staff there are as in the dark as the rest of the users. Like it’s honestly wild and needs a big old rant to get across the internet.

[@gkbrickworks7924]

Not the first time it happened. Rember when the gta definitive editions came out? They underperformed. And what take2 did? They went after mods because apparently they were the issue, not shitty groove street games which being frank about it, release nothing but shit. Not a single one of their games is good. What's even funnier is that they also ruined the mafia franchise. It could have gotten competent developers but no, we got hangar 13. Something tells me it's best not to have high hopes for gta6. It'll sell well but trust me, they'll find a way to fuck it up.

[@SpartanNat]

@@gkbrickworks7924 I mean hey, maybe the answer is to start sounding the alarm now. Better to keep yapping about how Take 2 is fucking things up over and over again instead of letting people just buy it and be disappointed or, really, supporting a really shitty publisher because that’s what they really are. The other reports are they’re trying to sell Private Division entirely because they don’t want to publish indie games anymore.

240 a year for ultimate in most places. More in some. Based on their countries currency. Most people dont even purchase $240 of videogames in a year. Especially if you shop smart and with sales. Thats a whole new xbox s every year...pc players not having to pay for multiplayer alone saves them so much money annually. There is no point to xbox as their ips have all failed in the modern era. Halo infinite averages 2000 daily players.... etc

ngl i would be surprised if they didn't increase it. It's Micro$oft we are talking about, they were saying that Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows (which is partially true, since i know a lot of people that are going to switch to Linux or even macOS). When they M$ said that the price of Game Pass will be like this forever I knew it would end up like that.

[@TheCrazyOne2]

If these companies actually put decent games on Xbox and put actual effort into their games, maybe this will justify it, but almost every game on Xbox is just a mindless cash grab, let alone Game Pass.
