Paying 30 bucks for 20 chicken wings sounds pretty back water. You seriously take pride in having shit more overpriced than others you then deem lesser? Even in the UK something like that would cost like 10 pounds (well, pre-Brexit). Thankfully where I live KFC isn't popular, often doesn't even have a presence in smaller cities.
I couldn't find the 20pc bucket on their actual site but found this relevant article where they mention the regular price in comparison to this deal they reported.

QFTYou may not believe this, but I've been gaming and paying attention to sales the last few years also.
Here are six examples of non-Microsoft games that are included in Game Pass and have never been under $20 each on PC. With the exception of Monster Hunter World (and the first episode of LiS2 - though all are included in Game Pass) these games also all released in 2019. At least a dozen more I spot checked and saw historical lows more than $10. As in, still cheaper to subscribe to Game Pass for a month than to purchase outright.
You're right though - if you're subscribing to Game Pass just to play Oxenfree (still a great game though) you're doing it wrong. Just like it's stupid to subscribe to Netflix just to watch The Office when you can buy the entire series on sale for $30.
Motherfucker I'm an American.
People haven't been paying for GP at full price let alone $15-20 a month, which is why Microsoft basically started giving it away for free (or basically free $1) i.e. no customers. People want free shit.
get you shit together fellow 
we thought you were from Somalia or god knows tha @#$% from talking about pennies and single Dollars.I couldn't find the 20pc bucket on their actual site but found this relevant article where they mention the regular price in comparison to this deal they reported.
KFC brings back its hot wings bucket deal for £6 - but for one month only
FRIED chicken lovers rejoice as KFC has brought back a deal that will see the price of a 20-piece bucket of hot wings slashed to just £5.99. With two hot wings usually costing 99p for the pair or £…
Well, either you edited your post to not include KFC or I misread initially because I have no diea why I'd go on about KFC without any mention of it by others. But okay then, going to a restaurant or whatever establishment and getting a "home" cooked meal as in the photo can definitely cost much more than 30 for a pair.That's processed food with half of the weight coming from fried breading. Don't eat that shit, you're going to get a heart attack.
This is what chicken wings are:
I mean, I mentioned KFC before I searched, again because I thought you had mentioned it and found it a crazy price because indeed such chain fast food is pretty bad. Plus chicken wings aren't something people around here generally order in restaurants, usually going for better cuts/meats/orders but you do you.
It isn't about like or don't like. You are free to like it. But that doesn't make it good business. It was good for a while when it was the only game in town, but Netflix can't host other people's content anymore because other content get their own separate streaming service now. And this is the same issue with Gamepass long term. Gamepass in the future could only survive the same way Nintendo does; via first party games. And also be sold at a profit, not loss.
Hm. Actually, I'm just responding to another Netflix bot that somehow magically believes its a sustainable business model. I don't hate Netflix, heck, I've been streaming my own music since 1997 or so, movies since the mid-2000s from my own house.... there is no real magic behind it.
As a consumer I am worried that it will do more harm than good in the long run.
But why? What are you loosing as a customer?
I dunno if you follow as many devs I do, but what is good for consumers not always are good for company/devs. Launch Gears 5 on PC/Xbox they could get a good amount of money in comparison with 1$ rent from Game Pass, at least at launch. NPD sales show the first weeks are the better time for game sales in any degree. Xbox One S and SAD are lower cost consoles for those who don't have money for a PC or others reasons. Games move hardwares and was already proved.
All Xbox Exlcusives are meant to drive people to subscribe to gamepass. The selection is somewhat limited right now but who's going to want to leave when you can play every exclusive game? Think about how many exclusives and new IP's will be coming to the service as of next gen and also think about how all the current-gen games will be cross compatible.
That's a weak point as Microsoft is a company that has been transformed around service based offerings in the past few years. Gears 5 is a marketing instrument for them to thrive the game pass subs (and eradicate second hand sales). Microsoft is earning more money a year with a person that subs game pass for 9.99/Month than a person that buys two games (physically) a year. This business model is getting even better if the person was used to sell the games after it has finished them.
Yes, Games sell Hardware but sales numbers are not relevant to the majority of gamers. Are you buying games just because they sell well? I hope not as you are missing out some freaking good indie games.
When I think about Xbox Ecosystem I not include Game Pass or Windows Store. I still think is a bad ideia for moving hardware sales and every year Microsoft choise a new better way or metric for showing Xbox division sales growing... If they want to hide bad news fine, but devs think otherwise.
Christ... I never buy a game because of sales dude... You're too much into this. Think as a Microsoft employer. We're here for talk about the OP subject, not about what is better for gamers.
Dude, read the first part of my statement about your weak point and start to think about Microsoft as a company that wants to earn money.
Microsoft will always earn money, but that don't mean Xbox division is a lucrative departament mind you.
A lot of people here will want to doom and gloom anything positive for Microsoft. This is a very Sony-Centric forum, which is fine, Sony has good games and a great system. But I think the bias is very strong and creates a huge backlash. When MS does something good, it's presented as the worst idea ever and that it will fail. Then, when they do something bad, it's like those threads go into party mode. I do, however, enjoy the sane feedback as few and far between as it is.
