Microsoft is hiking the price of Xbox Series X and Xbox Game Pass

[Dr Bass]

Sony raise price of Playstation:
Media scrutinise them, the public can't buy enough of them

Microsoft raise price of Xbox:
Media defend them, public don't want them

Maybe the gaming media aren't a true reflection of the customer base?

I can't tell if that conclusion is rhetorical or not lol. I'm pretty sure that's the case and it's been evident for a long time.

See the date of the article

You mean the US media is driven by US government which in turn is driven by mega corporates and one of these corporates is Microsoft?

brutal year for xbox, from acquisition blocked, to shit games, to games tanking through consoles flops.

Xbox/Xbox gamers:
- All games day one on PC
- Pays more for MS games than PC players
- Has to pay for online
- No VR solution
- Old featureless gamepads that are extremely close to the 360 pad and yet are still expensive (doesn't even come with rechargeable battery to this day)
- Has to chose between underperforming hardware (Series X) or awful hardware (Series S)
- Have gone ages without an Xbox exclusive GoTY or event GoTY contender
- All their hype comes from MS buying studios that already made Xbox games anyway (ABK, Bethesda, etc, all made Xbox One games in the past and that didn't save it from being terrible)
- Fiercely loyal to Phil Spencer, the guy responsible for all of this, including the lack of games in the past 15 years

We kept saying Microsoft would raise the price of gamepass but they never listened

This is the second price increase for Game pass in Brazil, at this point it's just not worth at all to get it. I would rather just buy the games I intended to play.

I had to check, but PC Gamepass' price is more than doubled right now.
I used to sub at that price because I would've had to save for more than 6 months at that price to purchase 1 one of the 2 games I was actively playing at the time without a sale (Halo MCC), when the price increased and MCC had a sale, I purchased it straight up and it cost me 2 months of gamepass.
And it was on steam, freeing me from messing around with the horrible Xbox App
