There are 4 types of sustainability. This falls into the Economic Sustainability. I was a fan of my economics classes believe it or not. So for a business, going by this type, it is efficiently using assets (in this case games and IP with subscriptions) to maintain/retain company profitability over time. So it doesn't mean that Game Pass will be a big profit center. But it will contribute to the overall profitability of the division. Break even as a service or better. It would not be sustainable losing money. There is a difference between a "loss leader" and sustainability. Some people seem to forget that the franchises on Game Pass have a value. MS is building Halo IP, giving it a massive "value". If MS wanted to sell the Halo franchise, they very well could probably sell it for billions. That "billions" is factored into the value of Game Pass for Microsoft. Microsoft invested in developers, which all have a value. Microsoft invested in IPs, which all have a value. Microsoft has close to 20 million subs on Game Pass, which has a value. Not that anyone else could probably afford to buy all that value from MS lol.
The time I spend gaming has increased about 4X since Gamepass started. I'm now wondering if it's just me. I feel like there's ALWAYS something to play!
You are there desired customer. Even more so if you take advantage of their DLC discounts.
Yeah, true. I wasn't expecting to be such a "good consumer" for them, but if just happens to work for me. I am probably more likely to buy DLC as I'm not paying for the games, regardless of how much I'm spending a year.
Lol, that's like 1 little reward compared to a bunch of others like earning specific achievements on Quests, but what happens when you Bing, does an angel die?
Well, if you set BING as your default search engine and you have the BING extension in your browser, you get reward points every time you do a new search with BING. I tried it for a week, but my god, the BING results were horrible. I ended up just googling them instead.Lol, that's like 1 little reward compared to a bunch of others like earning specific achievements on Quests, but what happens when you Bing, does an angel die?
Yeah, I actually prefer the new Chromium Edge for my phone, but not my PC. However, BING is still not nearly as good, even though it's gotten better. I use Google like 90% of the time. There's some console BING searches for the rewards, which I really don't give a crap about.
Well, TBH, I feel like Phil was the first leader I saw being so open about it, and has possibly shifted the pattern, but it's just an observation, and may not tell the whole story. I think they should ALL be that way. Too much vile s*** in the community already, and leaders gotta lead.
I think Shawn Layden was better than Jim Ryan. They went the wrong way there IMO.
And Greenberg throws shade more than I see him giving praise, so not all Xbox is good at humility, either.
Yup. I read that PlayStation was saying congrats on the big 20th Xbox Anniversary day to Xbox, and Xbox said thanks and asked if they (PlayStation) wanted to play games soon.
