Sounds awful, thanks. I can't wait to laugh when I see the ridiculous amount they probably want per month.

it would need to be so much cheaper to be worth it. Like current GP ultimate already is a scam and a half unless you were essentially buying a AAA title every 2 months, unless the price of this subscription is at least a quarter the price of ultimate it wouldn't be worth it imo.

I used to subscribe to this. During the 9.99 times. That was fun for a while.

Oh man I love when companies make stupid tonedeaf decisions like this.
Hey you know how we haven't made a great first party game in over a decade?
Yeah?
Well, what if to boost sales numbers we add a tier that ONLY gives you our lame first party games!
Because they refuse to see games as a creative artform. Or, they think they ate, but then do the worst corpo bs to them. This all reeks of some boardroom joining all their MBAs together to come up with this brilliant shit covered plan.

I personally don't think anyone should pay for xbox game pass, but this is a bit of an exaggeration imho. Xbox Game Studios have published some great games in the past decade. Among them, in no particular order:
MurrayL@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 149d
And that’s not even close to a full list, either. There’s also Flight Simulator, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush. Probably others I’m forgetting too.
There’s plenty to hate on MS for, and I’m not saying they haven’t squandered a lot of the talent they paid for, but to say they’ve released nothing great for over a decade is just ignorant.

Careful, putting out the message that they're amazing games could lead to the studios getting fired. Like what happened to Hi-Fi Rush.

Age of Mythology: Retold, and its 2 (soon to be 3) major expansions.

I know of Age of Empires; but the others I don't recognize, thought were Indie 500, or an actual Indie game.

All subscriptions inevitably turn to shit

Can happily say I've never held a xbox game pass and have slowly watched the service turn from abysmal to insulting.

I only ever did first month for $1 to beat Halo Inf campaign and that was that.

I just want Xbox live without having to pay 120 a year. I could care less for any games
newthrowaway20@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 149d
Why pay anything to play online?
TORFdot0@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 149d
Because Xbox provides the only populated servers for the games I want to play. I’m not happy about it either
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 148d
Only for non free to play games. This is standard across all consoles. Only on PC it online play does not cost extra.
Skv@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 146d
Not a decade some ago when XBL got integrated into M$ PC side of games....
devolution@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 146d
$10 a mo to play only 10 games. Amazing!
