PhantomShade Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Just now, playstationdude said: Its highly unlikely MS will go bust because of GP or Xbox, but if in general MS goes down the affects will be felt by every IT employee. So you will care then It is more likely the xbox walas will stop buying $60 games and be content with $1 buffet,so much so that MS doesn't find it worthwhile to have an xbox console and games for that platform. Which will lead to them reducing Xbox to just a game pass app on your Win10 PC In anycase subscription/streaming is the future, next gen will probably be the last where we have disc drive in consoles, $60/Game is obsolete model,apparently game development budgets exceed whatever $60/game sales may provide.

Movies earn most of their money from theatrical release, music streaming earns negligible amounts where the artists rely on merch and concerts for their income. Careful, you might be labelled as a corporate shill for stating the obvious way the business works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wew, for movies i always used to think that they still release in theatres because they can make a fat pile of cash fast, meanwhile streaming etc is much more slower and gradual income. Everywhere i hear screeching about how STREAMING IS THE FUTURE OF MOVIES AND TV, CABLE,DTH,MULTIPLEXES,BLU-RAY ALL BTFO Or like how Spotify makes buying songs on iTunes or whatever obsolete.

CarbonCore Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Spotify has been in a ditch for 14 years. They made some profit last year after aggressive cost cutting and not paying fair royalties to music labels, but they went back into that ditch again this year.

cyberpunk Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Streaming model makes sense for smaller indie movies, but say something like Avengers which made near $3 Billion last year wouldn't have made as much if Marvel/Disney released it first on streaming. Even in this current pandemic, studios would rather delay their movies than release on streaming. But good thing about Spotify is that it has reduced music piracy a lot which was present in the 2000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 1$ deal is only for one /first time use . The following month is a 15$ subscription amount. Don’t know if you guys really don’t know or just dumb to mention it as a 1$ sub for the sake of making fun of an exceptional ,consumer friendly gaming subscription.

KnackChap Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 And you guys must be dumb to pay more than 1$. On PC I sub for 59 Rs, remove payment details, let the sub expire and get the deal 59 rs again. Rinse & repeat. Anyone who subs for a long time without using this method is a moron.

triggr happy ss Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 So which one is it really ? 1$ deal thrice a year or 1$ deal every month ? Different people saying different things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittoo Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 How are you guys paying 1$ per month? I am paying like 300 odd rs every month once the promo expired. Do I need to create different accounts each month to get the $1 promo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So technically MS still got that amount of money for gold from them. Probably people are creating new ids, but I only got offer once and now it shows 999 for a month for Ultimate.

Snake Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I had the $1 sub when it first showed up for me, I unsubbed a few days later and deleted my payment details. I just checked now and I have the $1 option again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a page on Xbox.com, if you click the offer from there is used to take to checkout with that promo applied. This page was deep buried but I had bookmarked it and used to get it every time.
