They have changed the game. 21 minutes ago, l33tmaniac said: Subscription models can easily become irrelevant if the churn rate is high and MS needs to hold on and grow the player base with content (reason for aquisitons) consistently. MS and Sony are directly driving each other to be better. Due to the success of subscription models, PS Plus is vastly improved, and Sony’s first party titles are making MS invest more in exclusive titles. Competition is good overall for games. No one wants a monopoly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsk_colossus Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Buying and selling used games is essential nowadays with Ģặmể prices reaching 5k… It Doesn’t even matter if you prefer subscription service or buy pre owned games, all gamers are trying to save money wherever possible.. Irony is the guys who say that subscription is gonna destroy gaming, sell and buy used games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then I find it hard :| It gets annoying when people lowball in OLX. But you can actually give it back to those guys. If a guy quotes 50% of the cost of the game, agree to sell only the case. It's too early to say if MS has changed the game. Subscription model has traditionally worked for software, but I'd wait and watch as far as games are concerned. MS can only do so much and their development studios are yet to prove their mettle this generation. The third party publishers must be willing to put their games on the platform and for that to happen, MS needs to increase the subscription base no matter. Precisely the reason why they resort to 50$ for 1 month offers and permit Live backdoor purchases. The real challenge for GamePass would be 2-3 years down the line when the hard hitters for Sony line-up and third party devs make good use of the consoles. We need to see how compelling a proposition game pass remains at that point. Subscription models can easily become irrelevant if the churn rate is high and MS needs to hold on and grow the player base with content (reason for aquisitons) consistently. The subscribers have been increasing regularly till now (without any major AAA )which will certainly continue to grow once their 1st party output Of AAA increases and improves . In 1-2 years both xbox and sony will be pumping out exclusives regularly and xbox will be the only budget friendly option which can be accessed through multiple devices . With 23 studios and multiple publishing deals it is safe to assume they can easily reach their goal of a big exclusive every quarter. Also with MS fully backing i see more acquisitions to satisfy GP.

Selling used games is nothing compared to that. Just go to nearest cex or olx and have it picked from your place. What? Wasn't that because people had bandwidth caps and the only way around that was sharing HDDs. Not sure how that is even comparable to selling/buying used.
