That’s literally how business works.You didn't mention that they had to spend 70 billion to get to that 49% yoy increase.
If you have enough capital to spend you too can buy successful publishers off the market and literally assemble success from them as your core original business you ran continues to decline.Yeah the CEO should fire the people responsible for this.
Xbox FY24 Q2 gaming revenue up 49% year-over-year, driven by impact of Activision Blizzard acquisition
Microsoft reported massive growth in Xbox revenue for the quarter, largely due to the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.www.windowscentral.com
Good thing stan’s don’t run companies
Maybe because those companies were purchased as already successful businesses and the people running Xbox as a platform into the ground get zero credit for those divisions.That’s literally how business works.
They now own one of the most valuable assets in gaming. It’s worth more than it was when they bought it, and it is currently printing money.
Now why would a CEO want to fire the people responsible for this???
Don’t fukkin matter, that’s even better from a ceo perspective.
Yes, you can
It matters in terms of competence. If Xbox is lead by people who fail at that then it will end up in decline just like the hardware is now. That's in the position it is in because of the decisions made by the executives in place now.Don’t fukkin matter, that’s even better from a ceo perspective.
They purchased success
Now why would the CEO have a problem with that?
CEOs don’t care about console wars breh.
COD is an ongoing game.Lets see....
Put CoD on GP, lose a ton of money, and layoff/close studios
or
Don't put CoD on GP and make gamers on the internet upset
If I'm making a decision that's best for the overall business, this is a no brainer, but this is Xbox here. Everyone from Phil to their Xbots are not the smartest bunch of people
COD is an ongoing game.
3 months of GP= more money than a game purchase and that’s all money straight to xbox. No 30% cut. No retail, shipping,etc.
Yall so concerned with trying to denigrate gamepass you can’t even do math
. And people aren't subbing just for CoD, they would either sub for other games as well if they intend to keep the sub, or sub for a month and cancel like they'll do for Hellblade 2 (for the few people even aware or interested in the game 
)
. People who just play CoD would be better off just buying the game.
They have to add additional tiers at this point. Only thing that makes sense
This is the problem yall are running into.My good Xbot breh...How many NEW GP subscribers do you think will join if CoD is added to to GP? You don't give up $70+ MSRP for a few new GP subs
If by “everyone” you mean sony stan’s wishful thinking then sure. You guys hope gamepass fails, but it’s already been a success for xbox and they will continue with itEveryone outside of the Xbox camp has said the gamepass model would be its downfall and whelp...
