Strauss-Zelnick and Kotick are the two CEOs on record for clearly stating that subscription services are awful for AAA games at launch as they devalue IP.

Lol it’ll be will be the biggest blunder giving your biggest rival close to all the market share after spending so much on acquisitions. Idk if you know but all of gamepass users are on xbox, console gaming itself is bigger then pc gaming shit they even projected it to even go higher in the next few years but you guys think Microsoft are gonna leave the console market? Cmon now

The market is expected to grow from US$ 19,550.7 million in 2023 to US$ 75,280.8 million by 2033. Please you
Guys are killing me here lol if you
Think they didn’t buy it thinking about consoles you clearly don’t know how this works watch them make cod exclusive in 10 years
The online component only, to boost microtransactions/shark card sales and get a wad of cash from the platform holder does seem more plausible. Not the entire game. Rockstar separated the two and sold them individually on GTAV.

If that were on the cards then they'd likely make the dash to be on PS+ essential. They've spent time and money cultivating a userbase on PlayStation and essential has the most subscribers.
That said, I don't think it'll happen.

But it’s not the End of Engagement and the wider MS family that includes Sony and Nintendo.
True but it depends how much the platform holders are willing to pay for the privilege too so I won't rule it out just based on userbase. It's just a feeling I have on past info we've had. We'll find out in December.

That would be the worst timeline. Which is why I hope Gaben lives for a very long time as without him who the hell knows what would happen.
Also, he doesn’t need more money and 0 chance he would sell to MS .

PlayStation social accounts have all reshared and reacted to rockstars announcement. Xbox on the other hand has been silent…

How soon before they drum up a new metric of success. You can only describe these stats as a collapse. But what makes matters worse this collapse happened during what XBOX and their audience billed as the GOTG.

That'll be the STUPIDEST thing Rockstar could possibility do. People will buy GTA6 for the online component. Why give it away?

found that one xbox worker reacted to it. Maybe Xbox is waiting for the right time? But yes I am surprised that they did not react to it with their official account.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Your twitter feed is probably only showing you things from playstation as that's what you're likely following.
It has one of the best years for twitter, but neither analysts nor stakeholders agree with that. Hell, even Sony sacked their own SIE CEO despite all the successes. For console warriors, Sony is doing good though
Totally out of touch with reality.
CEO Kenichiro Yoshida: " PS5 is on track to become SIE's more successful console yet. I'm immensely grateful to Jim"
