Microsoft raises game prices to 70 dollars

Incoming early 2023: Gamepass also gets price increase

lemme go ahead and re-up my GP conversion before this happens.

Do you drive a car?

Do u go to the gym? Do you even lift, bro?

Dunno why y’all complaining, these games drop in price faster than a overweight fat girl.

and then there’s GamePass.

Gamepass, the planet fitness of games

Charlatan Phil does it again

People are out here bragging about rented access...not the games they play....not the actual games they've beaten....not the games they love that are only available on their console...their bragging about access....rented...access.

I just reup on PS Plus for another year...I'm letting Gamepass fall off and just subbin' to Gold

I'd bet it's a ploy to bolster GP subs.

I was waiting for this cynical take

 

[daze23]

Netflix started putting out more low effort, low budget, disposable media once they realized that most people subscribing aren’t invested in the quality. More reality tv shows, more documentaries, highschool dramas, low cost foreign dramas, more CW syndicated 90 shows….etc. they simply just want people to turn on the app to constantly see new stuff not entirely ‘good’ stuff.

Like i said, i think it will be very interesting to see what gamepass looks like by the end of this generation

these shows still have a way bigger budget than network TV shows of the past

Digital downloads should still be cheaper than physical media.

Less in the scope of cynical. It's some smaller things to do as the owners of GP to nudge people over. The only hard con is the DLC, but that can also be seen as a way to keep subs rolling if you wanna look at it with cynical lenses.

It's just good business for business.

it's funny cause some of these $70 games are $60 on PC

I can't remember the last full priced game I bought on PC. I always at least some kind of deal from greenmangaming

 

[PS5 Pro]

How does this affect gamepass subscribers

Spoiler

I would also like to add that they are talking about next gen games that will blow our minds. You been playing that much for PS4 titles that can use a PS5 controller. Sony is literally selling that as "next gen" and charges you $10 for that option. But continue

I wonder if steam gets hit with this price increase. Unsure what PC gamers attitudes are towards $70 games
