        The way I see it is I rarely play a game more than 1 time so to pay full price or even on sale price is a waste. Even multiplayer games become stale after 20-30 hours to me. Games are costing over 100$ now with taxes in leafland so I'll gladly pay 5$ a month to "rent" games I'll play once

        Makes good sense to me. The advantage of physical is resale, since you
        >have to install games anyways
        >have DRM anyways
        >can't make copies anyways
        >can have access restricted anyways
        and if you ARE reselling, gamepass takes the hassle out of it and you spend less money overall.
        It's not 2005 back when buying physical actually meant something. You're buying a license on a disc that is broken without day one patches. Piracy is the only way to truly possess your games.

        the only thing you have to remember is this only works if your current game pass subscription (if you have one) is EXPIRED. redeeming the gold codes with an existing gamepass subscription wont convert them at a 1:1 ratio, so you need to wait for any existing gamepass subs to expire, redeem however many months of gold you want, then buy 1 month of ultimate.

            no, since even if you cancel it will remain on your account the expiration date. if you have been paying monthly you wont have to wait very long at least. but if youre stacked on game pass ultimate for months already youre going to have to wait until it runs out.

        You should be able. Nobody reported issues with the conversion so far but it could change any time. The price increase is dated to August 1, they might not do anything by then (or even after that for a while).

    All pro consumer behavior gets thrown down the window once Microsoft gets a slight advantage. Starfield has raised sales for Xbox series x so now they are using this to raise its price.
    If the deal goes through expect to pay no less than 20$ for gamepass and ofcours they will keep raising the price if they don't face any backlash.

          They then pumped and printed trillions into the economy and we're dealing with the consequences now.

    I doubt I would renew gamepass after the 3 years I stacked with the gold conversion thing run out. Gamepass is mostly a wasteland and even then you could just subscribe for a month to play a new AAA release if it's on gamepass and then dump it. I think they're raising prices too soon, and ditching the "friend of the gamer" shtik. I think this will hurt them more than they think.

          Even if they wanted to do anything with Halo, Infinite is a shitshow and won't magically become better. Developing a new Halo would take at least 5 years.
          >Dumping the $1 game pass
          It was expected, just like the GP price increase. A huge amount of people are paying the fraction of the monthly fee for GP. I personally agree it is bad of course because all that MS has is money and I think they don't clearly understand they need to compensate for their lack of everything else harder. Being cheaper was at least something they had.
          >Trying to get involved with Activision Blizzard
          Sony is seething about it 24/7, it is clearly a "good" thing. I would say that was their only move in the last decade what could change some things. Xbox didn't have a single AAA promotional deal in forever because Sony gets them all by default. Owning COD would give them some leverage at least.

      Everything in capitalism is built on the infinite growth meme. Until the service grows it is easy to pay for the costs but when it slows down then individuals need to pay more. This doesn't mean the service won't grow. Netflix just proved restrictions work. It just means the value and pricing will slowly equalize.
