Yeah no fuck gamepass! It was never worth it. NOTHING will ever be better than Actually OWNING your games physically. Digital media and streaming can suck a fat one!🖕
This is stupid xbox live does this I'm going to ps 4
Maybe if game pass and EA was included 🤔
I'm out after nearly 15 years of gold membership if they do begin charging double the price. I was trying to get my hands at the Series X but now, probably sticking to just PS5
i'm going to have to get at least 1 month of xbox live gold to link my xbox pso2 account to steam. I think xbox live should be free so i would actually play on xbox and not computer!
I moved to PC gaming anyway yesterday got a 3060TI for my first PC, Xbox can fuck off with this scummy shit trying to push gamepass so much.
I’m devastated literally lost my 13 year account all my games I can not afford this when I have to renew saved and worked hard for so long to get a series x I don’t want ultimate or gamepass I buy cheap and own my games Phil spencer is now another lying scumbag wants all players on gamepass but screw the players like myself suffering financially in a pandemic we are not wanted on Phil’s Xbox eco system
Whoo that's an epic fail on Microsoft part!
Better start given some really good games away for gold but if they don't give a reason other then its been 10 years since they up it I just got a xbox series s and I sell it off and go back to Playstation I went from a ps4 and was switching over but this I go back to the Playstation Nation
Yeah buddy! I was WAITING to hear what you were going to say about this bullshit. As soon as I heard what they changed my first thought was, "Brian is going to lose his mind".
Microsoft: "It'S aBoUt ThE gAmErS!"
Shit…
lul
laughs in Zoeila
Edit: i just found out how to make text in bold lol.
So this is the craziness. 1 month is only going up 1$ , 3 month is 5$ …the kick in the pants is the 12 month cost is now the 6 month cost.
This is almost inline with how the ultimate game pass pricing works , where it actually is cheaper to just pay for GPU (ha…) every month. But instead Buying the 6 month live will save u 6$ it’s still lame tho. 120 for a year of gold smh. I wonder if u can still buy a year now and get 1 year for a dollar lol
really not feeling MS approach. gamepass might seem like good value but it got too much downsides for my liking. you pay pretty much the equivalent of 3 full price games a year but own nothing, devs receive money no matter if they deliver a good game or not so it emphasises quantity over quality quite like netflix in many cases, it doesnt seem all that sustainable so i think game quality will suffer in the long run and/or games will launch barebones so you pay the fee PLUS dlc and microtransactions, games rotate in and out of gamepass so you might not be able to finish a game that you started for free.
and lastly at least for me actually putting thought into which games to buy is part of the experience. you treat yourself with a new game and are kinda attached to it. gamepass totally devalues games
So is all the information out about this change already or is this just a first reaction video to this news. Because this is the first I heard of this but how this is presented this sounds more like a PlayStation move. But I'll wait and see what's going to happen.
Honestly i have been a Xbox/Microsoft first kind of gamer just due to the overall fact that even early on, on the OG Xbox they always looked out for their players over playstation they had the better subscriptions they had higher customer service record by far, I have to say even when playstation plus became a thing Xbox just did it better in my opinion of course now im not biased because ive played and owned both and multiple systems now i wont argue the playstation has the better exclusives because i believe they do, but now with this news im contemplating if they even care about their gamers anymore and honestly its just sad because not everyone can afford to pay that kind of money especially for an inferior service when compared to ultimate game pass im just kinda shocked that they think is a good step in the right direction, and if thats really what they care about over the gamer then i think its time for me to go back to playing playstation and i know a bunch of people who would agree again i really hope that microsoft doesn't do something so damaging to themselves but i guess we'll wait and see…
What's a xbox?
I'm glad I bought a year of Game Pass a month and a half ago but I'm not happy with this either this means more of my friends are going to go to PC and PlayStation and I might lose friends to play with because of this. Thanks for the video Ginger much appreciated
I think the only problem here (considering GP ultimate makes gold worthless even before the price change) is that they still require you to have the subscription in order to play free to play games (like PSO2 and fortnite etc), those games should be accessible with internet connection only like other platforms. Other than that the price change is definitely dumb but IMO if you have Xbox and don’t have Gamepass you wasted your time to begin with.
I always thought it was ridiculous that they won’t let you play f2p games without gold. I subscribed to Ultimate when it first went live so that my brother and I could have a shared library of games to play together. The $15/mo isn’t a big deal to me. It’s no different than having a wow and ff14 sub going at the same time. However, if they crank up the price on Ultimate I will cancel. I do like all the games I get access to but I just don’t have the time to play all the games I would like to and if it’s more that the current price I don’t think that it would be worth it to me anymore.
That’s disappointing
This is insane i saw this earlier and I was just like wtf there's no way and honestly when mine ends i guess I'm going to pc
You are absolutely right and that's not all in the middle of a pandemic they wanna charge more for less content. This is a serious rip off.
So basically just get a PC.
I slowly moved to PC myself over the years I still use Xbox controller on PC because I’m better with controller than mouse. I’ve tried going to mouse and keyboard I just was to worried about losing my controller muscle memory. Like division when I use controller I usually end up at 65-70% accuracy after missions when I use controller and I play with AR builds and shoot headshots 90% of the time. When I try with mouse and keyboard feels awkward to me and I shoot almost 50% accurate at end of missions. So I just stick with controller some games I use mouse and keyboard but Diablo I prefer controller as well. It sucks to see them doing this will for sure cancel my sub for Xbox all the free shitty games isn’t worth it to me to pay more a month for game pass when I don’t play those games …
Got to say I'm glad I left Xbox years ago.
I would not even want game pass if I still was on a xbox, digital is not something I want, so this hick would probably get me to switch to pc if I still had a xbox
This is the absolute WORST thing MS could have done. Not only did they raise their price at an ridiculous percentage, they did so during pandemic where people are struggling to pay their bills. It's sheer greed and a marketing ploy to move people into Gamepass. They just destroyed a lot of their goodwill they've gained over the past year. Nice going Microsoft, grats on the great move… fools.
So can I just confirm the circumstances;
Previously gamers needed X-Box Live Gold to have unlimited online play and we got a couple of free games a month (permanently rather than "on loan" as with PSN).
Now there's Game Pass Ultimate which gives you all of the above plus the Game Pass Library (inc EA Access and I've heard rumours of Uplay as well in the future?).
I still think that Game Pass Ultimate is incredible value and honestly have been expecting it's price to go up given the amount content it's been getting but this just seems like a unusual move for MS. Espicially given the strong "gamer first" mentality we've seen from them over the last year (expanded ecosystem, bringing generations with them, smart delivery, pay for your console over 2 years etc).
I really hope we see the rationale behind this decision. Am I happy about it? Nope. Am I waving an pitchfork? Nope.
Given your speculation Brian that the only reason they could be doing this is to try and drive customers to use Game Pass over Gold why would they do it in this manner over just shutting Gold done and leaving people with no other option? Does the possibility of some people paying the difference outweigh the reputational damage they'll now get?
Hey Brian, not the topic of the video, but any opinion on the cyberpunk 1.1 patch?
Goodbye xbox hello ps
glad i have a PC so i don't have to pay for a console, then pay for a game, just to have the multiplayer restricted unless i buy MORE! LOL
PC = master race
just go to PS5
PCMR.
I always found this idea of paying to play online for a game that you already paid full price for ridiculous. Microsoft started it with Xbox. Sony didn't have that till ps3 but seeing the huge success of xbox360 in this regard they put the same out for Ps4. Honestly i think gamers themselves are responsible for this because they allowed this shit.
Look had they just said gold isnt a thing anymore we only ogfer ultimate it would have sucked but been okay. But this move seems a little strong army
Im honestly gonna quite Xbox if this sticks
This is wy im pc no extra costs
Well if this is true, looks like I'll be going back to PS. Doubling Gold Live when they provide 2 Indy or just plain and simply crappy games a month isn't worth 120$. Period.
First in the 3:44 ish area and you talk about family you should be having game pass ultimate, what they’re doing is consolidating services into game pass…lets also point out that sony doesn’t bundle psn+ and ps now…those services combined come out to $160/year for both…xbox game pass ultimate which has gold included in it comes out to $180 and so for $20 more you definitely get more value such as xcloud…now it also makes sense from a financial side to consolidate the service/fees into one fund…it truly isn’t as big of a deal as people make it…people whine and complain for the fun of drama
Probably still gonna stick with Xbox sadly because I already have so many games for 360 (and a few I have bought/ claimed in advance for Xbox One) that going to a new console like PS5 would be less cost effective.
They fucked up
I cancelled my Xbox ultimate pass. 👎
I enjoyed the Outriders footage tho thanks bro
I woke up today to the news that Xbox has changed it's policy and reverted to the old price, and will soon allow free to play games to bypass the gold requirement. A good step yes, but this video never needed to get made in the first place. I'm still a little salty, but at the same time, happy the gaming community came together and Microsoft listened. This is a win IMO.
I just bough a $60.00 12 Month Live Gold pass and when I placed the code into the XBox it came up on the screen
telling me that the 12 month will be converted into a four month if I accept it…
Me watching the video the following day, and realizing that they granted both of your wishes of reverting this price change and just rolling gold out for everyone.
And this video is what happens when you tubers make videos about rumors but think there cutting edge reporters but don’t know shit about anything. Xbox announced today that they were not raising the price of Xbox Live.
