Microsoft is maximizing subscription revenue this year. It’s all about increasing that y/y revenue while burning cash on AI that will explode in their face revenue wise, unless the subscription price hikes land.
The next Xbox if it exists will certainly sell worse than the X/S and with it will see the decline of gamepass subscribers
Their handheld? I think it’ll sell worse than the steamdeck clones.
makes me think it’s inevitable that they reverse their position on console exclusive games.
How do you figure? Everything they’re doing right now shows they’re interested in leaving behind most of the video game industry.
After fucking it up by buying up like 2/3 of publishers out there…. then laying them all off?
Weird how what was once applicable to Switch 2 news now applies to Xbox.
Thank god I’m multi-platform…
So they were very vocal about negative changes with predictably negative results, and now they’re being very quiet about the positive rollback…?
There’s just no helping some people, are there?
What are we seeing as the positive?
I’m referring to what Microsoft would presumably want us to see it as.
Yeah I think you misread the headline lol. There’s nothing positive here.
I didn’t, and there isn’t. I’m talking about PR, i.e. lies.
I’m so confused by what you meant. Can you explain which part is the positive that you mentioned?
There was an /s missing.
Basically, xxce2AAb is asking why Microsoft PR is not trying to spin this as a good thing.
Yep.
