They are pretty much clueless as to which direction traditional AAA gaming is headed at. Its a win for xbox gamepass subscribers and a win for xbox only if they get more subscribers. Trust me non of the subscribers worry about MS profits and neither should you coz subscription model doesnt work like that. There are so many subscribers in this forum itself who have 0 complaints. The only complaints there are comes surprisingly from non subscribers like you and your friends Stop worrying and start gaming Edited November 24, 2021 by triggr happy ss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saying about not caring is ironic. Also no one complains of free stuff. Not even me. Netflix,Disney,Amazon & pretty much everyone in streaming is in subscription business now & it’s only Foolish to think there’s anything wrong with it. But guess what……none of these services offer a back door entry to increase their counts without revenue just to create good face value If something is not making money then it’s not making money & why should we not say that it’s not making money,while also enjoying it’s fruits. Happened with Jio in India,ppl enjoyed it unlimited But never found one stupid shill who said that “hey it’s profitable even when it’s free”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 No wonder half the YouTube have been putting Forza & Halo clips. M$ is going in for the mass capture of every single gaming display out there. Only thing that remains to be seen if they can actually capture the market like Jio did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they will pick only those who will promote it on twitch/YouTube/Facebook/Twitter/discord. They aren’t really sending it to silent players or casuals.

How do you know MS is not making money with its Xbox division ? Do you know how much revenue did they generate last quarter ? Expenses of xbox division ? Profitability if any ? How many are paying full 15$ for Ultimate GP per month and how many are using 'backdoor entry' ? Do you know how much xbox is paying Game Devs for allowing their games to be playable through gamepass for 'free' Please share if you have those figures . The only available figure is the Xbox division revenue - For Q1 2021 it was their highest ever. Don't give your assumptions like everyone takes backdoor entry into gamepass only .. I m not saying xbox is making loads of money but I can't say it's not making any money either as no one knows for sure . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony on the other hand spends too much money on marketing, hence they put out better ads. For PS5, they got big names like Michael B Jordan, Osaka, Travis Scott for short ads. And not to mention, due to their UCL sponsorship, many footballers (Neymar, Lewandowski, etc) posted IG pics with PS5. There was this article I read which mentioned that Sony spent almost 3 times as much on ads as Microsoft did ahead of the launch last year.

I’m just assuming things after using common sense. I don’t have any data on profitability because there is none available…..along with mysterious bookings of expenses such as buying Bethesda under some other M$ head but using it to promote Xbox Studios. Not providing any data & then boasting about it’s sustainability in itself is reason enough to speculate something is not right. But if someone has Fanboy glasses on & shuts out common sense then what can I say(apart from what I’m saying already ) 6 minutes ago, Vamos said: Microsoft's marketing has always been like this... very much reliant on social media influencers.

Spending on marketing doesn’t increase your player count instantly ,which they are apparently using to manipulate their data. Giving free subscriptions & goodies to the masses is like more important for them right now. Also Dwayne The Rock Johnson,Broooooo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine an open world action/adventure chess game with action and the 2 kings playing against each other. It's mind-blowing simply for the concept.
