Also, I don't know why Dring can't just let this go lol.

Obviously dev cost isn't part of GamePass P&L. And no, it's not because sales are recouped through microtransactions, etc.

GP is a distribution service/platform, not a game development entity. Dev cost for 1st party games would be part of Xbox Game Studios (publisher) books.

You know a service is NOT financially healthly if you need a next to infinite number of threads and shills to prove that it is financially healthly (for a public company!!)

It's really just a common sense nothingburger. The fact that anyone thinks this is important is embarrassing.

3rd party games on GP, the only thing to analyze is GP revenue minus GP costs, equals GP profit.
1st party games are all of the above, plus they have to factor in PC sales on Steam, Windows Store, Xbox Store, and now PS5 and Switch.

That's literally all it is. The most common sense thing imaginable.

It seems like Dring simply doesn't have the balls and mental stability to tell the truth and then stick with the consequences.

Par the course with him.

He did the same when he was critical with the ABK acquistion then suddenly toned back for whatever reason.

We don't factor in the cost to make games because microtransactions exist? Are there people that will just accept ANYTHING they're told?

Then you tell them that the GP business model promotes mtx to recoup the development costs and they throw a fit and deny that too.
