What a ridiculous prediction 🙄

The media and "analysts" always rooting for Xbox to take over. This is more than PS+ makes with more than double the GP subscribers.

Generating revenue means fuck all. Show me the profits.

People have this idiotic idea that with COD, GP is gonna make MS a crapload of money. They forget one little detail. MS now has to pay for the entirety of Activision and their employees. All projects, marketing, salaries, development of actual games now come from MS' own pockets.

It's been seven years and we still get the annual 'Game Pass is going to be HUGE' predictions. There's always some reason that makes little sense too. This time it's CoD, but why would anyone pay for Game Pass Ultimate for CoD? It's cheaper to just buy the game if it's what a person mainly plays and even if it's not now that MS raised sub prices.

The average cod player isn't smart or they wouldn't be paying £70 pound for a shit campaign that was just reused warzone areas & a multiplayer that was all MW2 maps that were ready for MW2 remastered but they decided to sell them later

As long as there's a Game Pass tier that includes day one games, im good. Don't care what else Microsoft does.

They closed on ABK a year ago. Technically they haven't increased the price due to the merger itself. They never said that they wouldn't increase it due to ABK games being included in GamePass or just in general.

It's very difficult to prove without internal documents that this is "simply" because of the merger.
I thought ubisoft was gonna exclusively host the acti games via ubisoft+?
