- 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? 
 
 
 
- 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. 
 
 
 
 
 
 - Weird how what was once applicable to Switch 2 news now applies to Xbox. - Thank god I’m multi-platform…
