microsoft is only trying to create the netflix of games, if it's up to them and if they were successful in creating this, subscription only, way of renting games they would stop selling games altogether and just go stadia route.
i believe some of you that see this game pass with good eyes haven't realized this yet.
they will increase the prices later and are now subsidizing it with unreal prices just like epic, i find it odd that several AAA games like devil may cry 5 are even in this, i wander how much they get from it, they are just renting it anyway so i guess they charge a cheaper fee, lowering the bar from a true purchase. worse part is that games rotate and you can't even rent the game you want at any time.

If you see me complaining about a console, some hardware or a game, it's because I did try it (as in, I didn't watch a YouTube video, but I put a gamepad in my hand or a keyboard and a mouse to try them). |
Wait wait wait. Didn't you play these PC games on some mac or mac pro shite? So yeah, you better not complain about PC games until you play them on a, you know, ACTUAL PC   Spoiler: | |
|
I know you are mocking me, but not sure if you are serious or not : a mac is a PC... It's a personal computer. You can install Windows and run any game natively (NON EMULATED), just like a Windows PC (and sometimes Macs are faster than consoles!). For example my iMac Pro is indeed faster than XBONE or PS4 Pro. It uses Intel and AMD components, just like a PC would. (Well that is, until Apple replaces Intel CPUs in 2021). |
Really? You're not sure if I'm serious or not?

Wow. This isn't a better deal at all, in fact it might be a worse one for many. They just add the price of ea access on top and called it a day.

Nothing to do with EA Play. They've said from day one that 4.99 was a temporary price and that it will be higher. Also, how can you cancel and then subscribe again?
I can only turn off recurring billing and then turn it back on which does nothing until the payment date is due.

Keep on believing that. I dont believe in coincidences like that in business.

https://bethesda.net/en/article/4IwKWIj174Cb2QNTTtBAEb/todd-howard-on-joining-xbox
Todd Howard talking about the deal. I still don't understand though, are they joining Xbox Games Studios? Are they just coming to Game Pass? Will they assert limited console exclusivity in the same way that Sony does? (with FF16 being the latest example)
Will they develop only for Xbox and PC? Because in the article above they mention:
| Quote: | | Like our original partnership, this one is about more than one system or one screen. We share a deep belief in the fundamental power of games, in their ability to connect, empower, and bring joy. And a belief we should bring that to everyone - regardless of who you are, where you live, or what you play on. Regardless of the screen size, the controller, or your ability to even use one. |
Which doesn't really go well with exclusivity
They are a huge company, so why bother with this?
EDIT: Oh shit, they actually straight up bought ZeniMax:
| Quote: | | Today is a special day, as we welcome some of the most accomplished studios in the games industry to Xbox. We are thrilled to announce Microsoft has entered into an agreement to acquire ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda Softworks. |

Better MS than Sony, at least this way it won't have any effect on PC release. Since Beth and Obsidian are basically obeying the same master now, they might be forced by MS to co-develop a game.

All games will come to PC as well. Probably a good move from MS though to get gamers to buy their new console. |
Yeah, eventually

No exclusives, they even mentioned that all future Bethesda games are coming on Game Pass for PC and Xbox day 1.
It wouldn't make sense for them to change their policy now, especially after all the success that they had with the PC market.

MS will probably manage to find a way to fuck it all up, somehow. Ruin modding if nothing else, everyone knows only total mouthbreathers are happy playing Bethesda games vanilla.

Fuck what up that wasn't already fucked? Or are we still going to say that Bethesda's games are good?
