We've already bashed Nintendo to death over this. MKW shouldn't cost them $80 lol only a fool and his money think that's a good thing. But from Microsoft, this is really rich.
- Microsoft has spent close to $100 billion dollars in acquisitions with Activision and Bethesda in the past 5 years.
- They practically don't even bother with physical games, which saves them money.
- They run lean for projects. Even games they claim are a success (Hi-Fi Rush), they shut down the studios for who knows why.
- Half of the reason their studios make it more expensive to make games is because almost every project they do that's big goes through a dev hell process. Fable, Perfect Dark, etc.
- Halo Infinite cost them some ridiculous amount of money and produced nothing on value. Another forgettable Halo game.
- They've wasted countless amounts of money on goofy things no one cares about.
This sounds like some kind of greedy way to get people on Game Pass. I'm waiting for the "Pay $80 or just get gamepass, bruh" nonsense. But even with Game Pass, they suck at it too by having $1 promotions all the time and blowing smoke about how many users they have. The best thing they've done in the past few years has been shut Phil Spencer up and then put their games on PS5. But that's it.
We need another one of these in this industry:


If Sony does this and Steam too, then I'll follow up with more bashing. But MS is extra silly given their recent history of why they're games would cost more.
