They always report that PC gamepass is where they see growth. Console gamepass stagnated a long time ago so that's why it gets the most frequent price increases. PC gamepass is still less than 20 a month and gets day one games.
Essential, no day one, premium, no day one, ultimate, day one, pc day one.
Essential= No day one. First party games launch time after (from 1 to up to 12 months later)
Premium= No day one. First party games launch time after (Shorter time than for essential)
Ultimate= Day one (at least 79 Games day one per year)
PC Gamepass= Day one.

This was a big shock and really pissed me off, but honestly after reading into it and seeing that Ultimate is getting Ubisoft+ and Fortnite Crew it isn't that crazy. I subbed and unsubbed from Fortnite Crew last month, which combined with Game Pass Ultimate was slightly more expensive then this price hike is.
I hate price increases in general but this isn't the worst thing in the world. Ultimate is out of the price range of lots of folks now but something had to give. We all know for sure now that CoD on GP was truly unsustainable.

Bringing in those extras is a good way to try to make it more palatable but I think the number of people who use both of those services is very low (which is why they did it). Fortnite Crew is apparently $12 a month and if you play enough Fortnite to care about this (I literally never heard of it until now), would you really be interested in having access to all these games on GamePass? Time is finite.
And of course this is as always laying the groundwork for further price increases or a stealth increase by removing these services from it (which they will do if it is popular).

It wasn't.
I got 3 years worth for around £80. And got waaay more value out of it than £80. Of course that's not the case now.

I was speaking for myself.
I've always purchased games I wanted to play since I first got a job in life, and I always will. I don't get FOMO and have a backlog taller than the Eiffel Tower. So when I finally get to a game I want to play, they are discounted and on sale way more often than not.

100%. The Xbox back then isn't the same as now. The cool, alien looking box with the green LEDs, cool dashboards, and comfortable controllers is long dead. Replaced by the factory of sadness we have now.I remember....december 2005....i bought the Xbox 360 on play-asia because there was a shortage of the console here in canada and the USA...i was 15, life was good....now all of this is being destroyed....i miss my childhood....

A lot of that didn't come true today. But can't rule it out happening in the future.

400 games for a few hours each during the $30 sub period of a single month?
Even if they were only a few hours each, which they aren't, you'd be hard pressed to play them all in the whole year, it would be more than one game per day...
