How did Xbox get ratio'ed with 17.5k likes to only 1k replies?
I'm not up to date with this twitter crap but I think OP is dumb and got "ratio'ed" wrong.
Anyway the whole thing is a waste of braincells.

XGP tweet now at 17k likes with people dunking on Kotaku.
But to be honest, if all you want from GP is first party AAA then yeah it makes sense to put your sub on hold.

Twitter is the worst. Don't understand how people spend any time with it, let alone the people that sit on there all day. Don't have one and will never make one

Not really, Xbox know they got their showcase next month. Things will be made clear.

For people that are still confused on the term, it is literally referring to the mathematical ratio of positive engagement over negative engagement. It makes more sense on platforms that have upvotes and downvotes (like youtube used to have) like how those call of duty trailers were famously massively downvoted, or in other words ratio’d

Yes.
OP title makes it seem like XBGP is getting ratio'd when it was actually Kotaku getting ratio'd.

It is basically Twitters version of a like/ dislike ratio, or at least that is how people use it

Whenever Sony or MS (especially Sony) goes a few months without saying anything, journalists and people on social media rev up their concern engines until we get some big news and it settles down.

Tell me you x without telling me you x is the most annoying shit ever.
YES. I value single player AAA games the most. AA is 90% dead and indies re 90% cancer simulators.
I still adore indies like blasphemous, tormented souls, forgotten city, exo one and so on so on but nothing beats these big detailed games... but the AAA dev turned from 2 to 5-8 years.
Guardians of the Galaxy is one of last, most recent true AAA surprises for me

game pass burnout? is that an actual thing?
The funniest thing is reading the comments on the tweet, with folks tossing out lists of indie fare they've consumed, as if that counters the point Kotaku was making (which was a review of the sentiment bubbling about on the Twitter and not some hard-news expose).
Ideally you would want your ratio to be 1:1 or higher in favor of "likes" otherwise you could (reasonably) make the inference that the people who took the time to respond did so because they didn't like your message. If your business is influence, it is not as inane a measurement as this thread would have you think.
. . .it doesn't seem to imply in this case unless there's some other meaning now, as the Xbox tweet has far more likes on it than comments, which, why wouldn't it coming from two high profile accounts?

Imagine writing an article almost purely out of tweets by some random twitter cunts on the Internet. But what are you gonna expect if even "real" journalism outlets not related to gaming start doing this.
That """social""" media platform seriously needs to die. It simply adds nothing except for the bad stuff to society.

This feels like a “And your contribution to society is what??” moment. I expect a corporate Twitter account to be more professional when responding to an article from a journalist even if it is Kotaku.

The manufactured Game Pass "burnout" is boring, obvious and embarrassing.
Game Pass remains as good as it ever was and better than what other subscriptions are offering.
It isn't Microsoft's fault that 40 year old men online are addicted to constant "megaton" announcements.

people have no idea what ratioed means and it’s embarrassing. it’s okay to be out of touch, but then why make a comment about something you know nothing about? gaf is so down bad

Xbox Game Pass account isn't a standard corporate account. Checkout their images and videos and you'll know what I mean.

I love the big games but also the smaller stuff. Pac Man museum for example, people will laugh but I’m looking forward to playing it.
I’m not disagreeing with you of course, I find the whole situation with them and the social media stuff to be absolutely shite.

Game Pass.....No one in the right mind can put into question the amount of 'value' you get.
Also, no one in the right mind can argue against the 'negative' implications.
