Support NeoGAF

[krumble]

stuck between the "no I wasn't expecting to give MS my money for a while" and "definitelt will consider carefully if I give them more money"
Have Ultimate stacked for another 2 years still so this current price rise does not affect me right now, and I guess in 2 years time gamepass will either have sorted itself out or be gone completely, but if my subscription was running out soon I 100% would not be resubscribing at these prices, it doesnt make sense and their cloud gaming isn't good enough still in my view. Not a fan of cloud gaming anyway but always thought the streaming tech that Sony bought and integrated was way ahead of xbox as far as playability and compatibility, though been years since I last tried it as haven't subscribed to PSN for years and years now, xbox cloud streaming is still just not what I expect as a gamer in 2025, its no geforce now

Been subscribed for years now. That ends in January. I'll sub for a month when there is a game I want to play.

Which won't be often because for exemple if it's Silksong or another indie game, it'll be cheaper to just buy the game.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Moderately, according to the poll's options at least.

It's clearly much less of a bargain now, but if there's more than one game I'm interested in, I guess €27 is still somewhat acceptable if I can squeeze 2 or 3 games in one monthly subscription.

Been with Xbox since xbox live started and subscribed up until the announcement.
I may do once off months here and there if there's really a game I want for a short time.

Otherwise I'll stick to my PC and keep the xbox purely for GTA 6 when it comes.

I am still playing some titles on Xbox but I am not using GamePass moving forward.

I already thought that spending money on a service you don't use is dumb and after the first price increase.

I can't underatand why people waste money on Cable, Netflix etc when they don't even use it regularly.

It's impacting how often I laugh, and so it's making me a happier, healthier person. Thanks, Phil.

I was using it for gfn. But it's not really something I need. I find myself playing games in my library more. I've cancelled it. I have it until the end of the month and I'm done with it.

I'm an active current gen Xbox console owner but oddly I'm not impacted by this. I rarely ever resub to GP and when I do it's only for online play if we're doing MH or Halo or something. So honestly I'm not impacted by it. and the base Xbox Live tier is still just $10 and that's never changed, ever.

But this whole idea that you could have a sustainable console business by removing the sale of your games just has always struck me as bizzare.

I don't understand what the logic ever was. There would be so many tens of millions of paying subscribers that they'd make more money than if they'd sold the games individually? . I don't know what sub number would need to be but it would need to be really really high.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Yea even I am done with it, pretty much transitioned to PC now anyway. I did like gamepass but I dont get enough time to play enough of the games to justify the price jump, I will just buy the games I want to play on Steam.

 

[Soltype]

Just re-subscribed for another 3 years a couple weeks back. If I was paying full price I wouldn't even consider it. If anyone is considering gamepass they need to look into key sites , with this new price hike is not really a suggestion anymore.

 

[TGO]

I've got 99 problems but gamepass ain't one
If you're price increases, I feel bad for you son..
