Sucks for you. I have 10 redbox locations in a 3 mile radius. I just finished beating borderlands 3 campaign and modern warfare campaign for free with promo red box codes I get every month. I'm also subscribed to 3 years of Game pass for literally only 60 dollars. Only had to buy gold. I'm gonna play Age of Empires 4, Halo Infinite, Forza Motorsport 8, Ori 2, Minecraft Dungeons, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Psychonaughts 2, Bleeding Edge, Battletoads, many other first party games not mentioned. Countless of Third party titles that are only a few months old to maybe just a year old, Brand new indies A, AA, AAA all for the price of a single game.
What is the point of post launch support when you are just going to abandon it less than a year after release?
It's gotten far worse with Death Stranding and thats a $60 game. Your being selective with the ads, a playable pop culture icon is not the same as TV or merchandising ads already happening.
This is true, just got to look at how long they ran the xbox division in red.
The quality of more Netflix shows really bad, so yeah, I agree.
The idea of devaluing means that people start thinking "I'm getting all these games for $10 a month. Paying $60 for one game seems crazy", and over time you sales of $60 games crater. The problem is those big games require a lot of $60 purchases to be profitable.
Those mid sized pubs would be taken care off I'd imagine if they sought to distribute via subs. Also, unlike Netflix games can be bought. I think it's wise for MS especially to use thier financial might as a strategy, we're about to see a exceptional console with full AAA release schedule for at a cost much more digestible for the rest of the world, more games in poorer households more players to player populations, that should be celebrated.
Totally sustainable business model : https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/13/...-shutdown-out-of-business-movies-subscription
You're painting this as a virtuous quest for Microsoft, but ultimately we all know this is about making money. If the subscription model makes less money that's going to be a problem.
Why would you compare that clown show of a service like moviepass to the subs that come directly from the theater chains? Also pretty sure that Europe has had these movie theater subscription services for years.
Also moviepass was created by a startup, at least GP and Now have big stablished companies that can subsidise till a balance can be found on these type of services.
What's wild is when we talk about Nintendo not devaluing their games it's mostly met with understanding...IIRC, lol.
Yeah, this is where the debates come into play. I was like you when I got the One S a few years ago. EAAccess was a life saver, lol.
Fascinating. *googles* Cineworld Unlimited in the UK is pretty similar, also around $25 per month.
