People also seem to genuinely believe MS won’t just massively inflate prices once they’ve cornered the market lmao

The current gamepass pricing is unsustainable. There’s a reason why MS refuses to say how much money they make from it (if any) and they lump it in with other stuff in their financials.

I can easily envision a future where gamepass is £30 a month or something, but because MS has bought a lot of studios and people don’t own their games, people have to choose between continually paying that price, or starting all over again with zero games, and not being able to buy a decent amount of the big games, because they’re only on gamepass.

Either that or it ends up like TV streaming where we have to have 5 different subscriptions to access all the games we want access to.

Fuck that. We shouldn’t let either of those things happen.
