The Console tier looks a bit odd next to core. I can see people picking that and not realising they don't have online multiplayer.

Someone has to pay for that Activision purchase and it isn't them.

tbph if this is our stupid moneygauging future then ideally it should only be one flat tier per game service and that's it. Splitting everything up is redundant unless the hobby is that detrimental to one's budget.

Ultimate and premium ps+ basically share the same 3rd party games with exclusives being the difference maker but offer same value.

One interesting thing here is that the reason they do the 'monthly games' was to keep you subscribed long term even if you didn't play or use it. To give the feeling of FOMO.

They're not really going to have that with the small library of titles that everyone has access to.

Nintendo does it like that too but they encourage you to subscribe yearly.

Xbox Live was before Steam was even a thing. There wasn't really anything comparable at the time. Games all had their own online servers and the like. The concept of a universal account for a console started with Xbox Live. So yeah people paid. There wasn't a proper online store when Live started so this was a time when there was nothing paying for it too.

Yeah, this is fine with me. Gold kind of sucked, and the GWG were usually never worth playing.

They got progressively worse over the years and a lot of them you can buy for $5 on sale multiple times a year. GWG going under in favor of what game pass offers is a positive imo.

same tactic used to divide the worker

the genius was MS somehow convinced gamers paying for live aligned them to win a console war, and that their fellows gamers were their enemies

and so gamers gullibly aligned with a souless company instead of each other and their interests as consumers

Yep.

Really is no different than the streaming cable services like youtube TV and hulu TV doing the exact same thing while using the exact same wording to explain it. "Because we got this thing that some of you might not have asked for we feel that this new *insert price hike here* better represents the value of our service. We will keep bringing you quality blahblah fuckity blah in the future.*

It says member deals on Game Pass Core. They're referring to the monthly 'free' games. That'll be replaced with the same constant library of games everyone will have access to.

Other than that it's really the same thing as Gold.

Nice to see Microsoft/Xbox likes to apply their nonsensical as shit naming conventions to their subscription services as well.
