The lack of marketing shouldn't surprise anyone. This beat started with Gears 5. They no longer believe they need to promote the games; rather they chose to promote Gamepass. I remember everyone being puzzled with the radio silence from MS when Gears was coming out. (Hey guys, we promise it has a robust Single Player Campaign)

However, it was all over GP.

The problem is, GP in 2019 was attractive, and we can't say the same any longer!

it never was attractive for people with brains. a lot of people are long-term gainers than very short one.

okey, you got 200 games for a month, what next? are you playing more than 2-3 games a month? of course not.

why is that we have 100M consoles and games sells 2-3M? because people are picky and you can't be picky if you have no choice and gamepass actually passed few months offers no choice, it is their choice or the highway.

gamers are different breed than people who watch movies/series on netflix, dysney etc..

It was attractive in the sense that it was heavily marketed. GP was literally everyhere. Cereal, cookies, pop tarts, magazines, huge store banners etc.

Have you seen any of those lately? Lol

Everyone I know including myself jumped into GP with the 1 dollar trick for 3 years. GP back then also had big games hitting the platform from 3rd party. GP now? They are literally releasing the same games we seen years ago. This is feeling like Gold all over again.

Man this is truly hilarious that they have to post proof to twitter that they are in fact marketing this game. Marketing people are always the dumbest of the lot in any corporation but xbox seems to have the creme de la creme of the trashy marketing people. Imagine Sony/Nintendo announcing marketing plans with start and end dates 🤦‍♂️
