You actually on the spot here. GamepASS subscription would be divided into various levels: basic one, the cheapest, with some old games and small-budget titles; regular one with higher fee, more recent games, bigger budget titles and niche titles (niche players don't have much choice so they will swallow this); premium one with the biggest fee and all the most recent titles, exclusives and AAA shit. Mark my words, it's a prophecy.TES6 won't be $5 month, it will be $50 'gamepass premium' plus $10-15/month subscription.
Nah, Todd is "good looking" and has anal prolapse, I'm just handsome, without prolapse.you're just jealous
Phil Spencer declaration that it will be a case by case scenario pretty much confirms this, some will be multiplatform, some timed exclusives and some will be total exclusives, depending how Microsoft feels about the sales potential of each game, it will be fun watching Playstation fanboys crying when they discover the next popamole garbage from Bethesda are Xbox total exclusives or they will need to wait a year for a port.Seeing tons of people in comment sections across the internet ocean blue theorizing that Microsoft will not make "big" games exclusive. Theory is gamepass is more important, get people on Playstation to pay full price or lure them to Xbox with gamepass. "Elder Scrolls makes too much money to remove half the sales." I think this theory is flawed. You don't pay 7.5 BILLION dollars to nudge people, you pay it to have massive hits people can't get anywhere else. Unless Sony literally allows gamepass on their machines, which I doubt, I'd guess after 2021 it's a Microsoft only show for the most part.
For what it's worth, last time I even heard any news about Disney+ they had lost viewers when The Mandalorian finished airing. I also remember seeing reports of them losing money, I don't know whether the service itself was able to recover or have new people subscribe to it to compensate for the loss of revenue.Gaming and gamers are a bit different though than book or streaming services. Gamers were the first one to adapt any kind of DRM, they care less and less about total ownership. And games are more expensive than other form of medium. I don't like the sound of Gamepass prevailing, but if average joe who just wants to play Skyrim and Halo has to decide between paying 60-70 dollars, or paying 5 dollars a month to play all the games there, I think they will choose the latter.
If Microsoft can put out AAA hits every month and never raise the price then they are set but that is not going to happen. I'll eat my hat. Why did Disney charge extra for Mulan? Why are cable movie channels and on-demand extra?
TES6 won't be $5 month, it will be $50 'gamepass premium' plus $10-15/month subscription. Then the value proposition vanishes but MS hopes you'll see 50 is less than 70 (next gen games getting a hike) and your subscription is a 'sunk cost' so you won't cancel (plus you don't want to lose your back library).
To be honest,i don't know if there is a single streaming platform that makes money. Obviously not talking about gaming. The problem with it is,that there are too many of them and feels like a scheme to the customers. Normally you pay the same amount of money for a cable,which comes with 200 channels or something similar. While for those services you only get one channel that doesn't even have that many. Now if there was an option to get access to all the films and shows eva made,like a fucking torrent site,then people would have been more than happy to pay say 15-30 euro per month.For what it's worth, last time I even heard any news about Disney+ they had lost viewers when The Mandalorian finished airing.

This new future of streaming and subscription is definitely something that will dominate the upcoming decades, whether it lasts or not is another topic. Obviously I am not for it but I seem to be in the extreme minority, I'm someone that even criticizes Steam and see that it's negative outweighs the good. I'll probably dedicate my free time to physical hobbies like fishing, hunting and strength training which I already am doing a part of. And even better yet, actually create something for once.
Todd alone probably accounted for around 5 Billion of that 7.5 billion figure.
And he is worth every cent.

He made an interesting statement.
Microsoft aren't really competing with Sony at this point, but rather with Steam via the Game Pass.
And future Betheseda, Arkane and Id games will probably be Game Pass exclusives.
I didn't elaborate well,i meant twitch streaming. The whole stadia like game streaming is a dead end for now. They lack a targeted market,you can't expect people that can't afford good pc to throw 150 euro a month to play some shitty games lol.To be honest,i don't know if there is a single streaming platform that makes money.

I have the gaming pass to test Microsoft Flight Simulator (1$ forst month) and will cancel it.
The games in the shop are garbage, the good ones are year old Early Access games that I already own on Steam.
MSFS itself is a console game and the flight sim community is completely pissed off. They even throttle the streaming to ca 0.5MBit/s making the textures look shit. I assume it is way too expensive to deliver streaming so they just cripple it to the bare minimum.
Now they raised the monthly price for game pass basic to 10$, so that everyone who wants to give them a chance gets second thoughts. Gaming with Microsoft is a fucking disaster.

He makes good points in his videos, but his blatant bias against Sony and Japan in general puts me off.

He is unlikeable skinny bitchy faggot lol.
Let's not concern ourselves with the question how Fanta became aware of existence of such video in the first place.goddammit fanta spoiler your fapfodder I didn't need to see that while eating lunch
I think it's like the third time that he's posted it. He seems very enamored by it and wants to share with everyone.Let's not concern ourselves with the question how Fanta became aware of existence of such video in the first place.goddammit fanta spoiler your fapfodder I didn't need to see that while eating lunch
Yeah,i do dislike the little cumstain and post that shit every time i see a faggot posting his video.I think it's like the third time that he's posted it.

I haven't seen a single video from him, I don't know who he is and I prefer it staying that way. Just another faggot in the endless see of faggotry, no need to familiarize myself with particular cases.Old willy,mate you are too old to use the internet it seems. Here is the reference material you asked of me in a round about way.

Didn't watch the video, my tolerance for Youtube "intellectuals" is low, but Microsoft just recently started selling all their stuff on Steam so I'm not sure how that vibes. Also Sony is very obviously their competitor, if you examine their behavior in any way. Simply coming in at the $499 price point for the X is a massive signal of competition with Sony.
That said, I agree that Micorosft's main goal long term is Gamepass dominance across a wide variety of platforms and focusing on services. However in the short term they do want console and software sales (and surface sales) very much, and would not be investing the money and time into those things if they did not. Pretty sure they see both as coexisting for a long time, though how long is pure speculation. The Netflix and Spotify transitions for other media happened quite quickly. Still, I doubt we see AAA Gamepass exclusives for quite a while.
