Wow, that's really BS if true. And while it might make the game pass more appealing in comparison. those that don't care can go to Sony for much cheaper online. $10 US a month just to enable online play is insane.

Of course given the source, yeah dubious.

The source is a picture of a single card. Those things come in stacks so why take a picture of just one?

Comicbook.com is click bait trash. They regularly put spoilers in their headlines.

It's so you get that $15 a month deal with Gamepass because how could you at $10 a month really argue not dipping the extra $5 for a huge stacked library of games. Pretty scummy imo all things considered.

This actually makes me sad. I've favored Xbox since 03 or so, but in the last few years I got my first great PC and just recently picked up the PS5.

Xbox the console won't be around for much longer at this rate. They'll eventually just become a cloud thing like Stadia.

It's true. Good god MS. $120 for a year of XBL.

Aight. I'll admit it I was wrong. So there's basically no reason not to get game pass if you didn't have it already for some reason.

this literally doesnt make any sense for them to do, I thought they were basically giving up on Gold. GWG has been shit month in and month out and theyve been pushing Game Pass so hard
Milk XBL as much as possible before going entirely into a GaaS business model.
If anyone over in PC land is going to be ballsy enough to start charging for online play on PC, it'll be Microsoft. The "gamepass" model just makes it much easier.

They've tried before and it failed spectacularly. I doubt it would work again.

Well that's disappointing. I haven't really been all that interested in Game Pass because it doesn't align with how I actually play games, but I keep XBL because it has slowly built up my library over time. I may have to reassess that

Xbox Live Gold is the paid subscription required to play online multiplayer on Xbox.
Xbox Live is the online service itself (Xbox Live is down, etc)
Game Pass is a subscription service that includes 100+ games.

Given the supply constraints right now, this may backfire badly when production gets caught up.
...especially so if Sony doesn't take the bait fairly quickly.
