Deal
This is one way to cook the numbers I guess...
I honestly don’t see how 3rd parties stay a part of Game Pass. The revenue vs retail already doesn’t make sense. Now Microsoft is giving anyone who buys some pop tarts their top tier membership... Then those new members who do decide to pay Microsoft can do so for $1... For 3 months. (And even longer if they go grocery shopping)
This is a big gamble on Phil’s part. He’s putting all his chips on the table with Game Pass. But if he can’t retain a membership base, things are gonna turn south REAL fast. But I better not hear a single Lem hyping Game Pass numbers in the next few months. Those numbers aren’t real
If gaming companies used healthy food to sell their products, would their products sell? Perhaps not, as the use of junk food sells.
There's another promo for new members where you get 3 months for $1
We can't trust there numbers for gamepass anymore. Too many freebies and $1 promotion we just can't trust them anymore.
Sony you pay for PS Now those numbers are legit with gamepass we dunno anything anymore.

Clickbait title much?
You've got it bad for MS, maybe its time to...
Well that’s cool and all but it’s only a two week period that they’re giving out. Nothing that any and every other company doesn’t do on a regular basis. 🤷♂️
@i_p_daily: What? How is the title clickbait? I could go grocery shopping this weekend and get Game Pass Ultimate for free for 6 months, easily. And since the promo goes through March of 2021, with a family of 5 I could get well into 2022 for free.
I better not see you in here hyping Game Pass sub numbers ever again.

I believe he has made it pretty clear that he is not a fan of the service. I maybe mistaken. 🤔
@Archangel3371: Like every other Xbox promo, you can stack the codes. It says so in the FAQ. Every box of pop tarts and cheez it’s, can of pringles or box of rice krispies treats is a 14 day code.
Desperatsoft
Soon they will give away Halo Infinite copies just so the playerbase is higher than 1k players 😎
@goldenelementxl: Ok. Makes it better then. You should have said that in the OP then to make it more apparent.
@judaspete: As a gamer/consumer this is a good thing. But folks get on this board and hype the Game Pass player base as a sign of popularity and success for the Xbox brand. This is nothing more than a Hail Mary. An act of desperation to get a userbase in hopes they can retain a fraction for the long term. Xbox NEEDS for Game Pass to catch on, or those blank checks they’ve been writing to devs will start to bounce. And that would be disastrous for gamers/consumers.
Going to be honest, and please don't take this the wrong way, but... I'm not 100% convinced subscription figure bragging rights on SW are that important to MS. Especially as they already appear to have this one in the bag.
Maybe they're just trying to expand their reach?

Firstly i don't do the whole sales number shit, i'm not 12, secondly you need to make an initial purchase to gain access to your free* code lol.
Thirdly, if you're the kind of person who has to create account after account to get free* Game Pass then you're definitely working for it lol.
Okay, what's the cheapest thing that comes with a code? If those 75 cent bags of Cheez-Its in the vending machine at work have them I just wanna go to the source and get a lifetime supply of gamepass at a fraction of the price.

no you cant
Can I order more than 1 reward?
Yes. You can receive up to two (2) 14-day codes, or one (1) 30-day code. or one (1) 14-day code plus one (1) 30-day code equaling a maximum of 44 days total per KFR member/account.
I love my PS5 as much as anyone.
But I don’t understand why some gamers would try to put something like GP down just because they hate l, Xbox or MS, I mean, I hate Apple, but I don’t waste my energy talking bad about them or searching the web or social media to find anything negative about them just to create a post about it.
Unlike some users here that would show their hate tours Xbox, even if the topic on hand is about Playstation.
With that said, I love PS Plus collection, but it’s no were near as good as what Gamepass has to offer.
Again this is just based on the type of games I play, so opinions will vary

Or it's something to help promote a service MS is selling. Just like any of subscription service giving away free subs for a limited time. I got a year of Disney plus simply because I was a verizon customer. Is that a hail mary as well? Disney desperate?
You've quickly become a MS hater haven't you? Every time you talk about them it's negative even when there is no negative to be had. You're trying to portray a promotion as desperate while almost all sub services do the same thing. You're just beyond sad at this point.

Is "hate" emotional? Should we just disagree with a company's practices and not get emotional over them?
A thought.

Yeah he has, he shits on the XB1's specs and shills the Switch, and when you call him out on it he says "portable" to try and negate his hypocrisy, i mean if you can't take a shit without playing your Switch you have serious problems lol.

Bro PS Collection comes free with PS Plus Gamepass is 120 dollars extra a year on top of xbox live thats nother 80 dollars since they jacked up the price why are comparing collection free with ps plus a huge 120 dollar subscription that doesn't include online play?

Isn't the PS Collection just a bunch of old games though?
@i_p_daily: For the 1038576th time, I don't “shit on” the Xbox specs. It’s the Lems that misrepresent the specs or overhype them to the moon and back. I did the same thing to Cows before the PS4 launched. Back then I was called a Lem and now I’m grouped with the Cows.
Gosh, the very opposite of Nintendont; MS is so very consumer friendly. ;o
Thank you MS, truly for the gamerz.... Jazz. :P
@SecretPolice: I know you’re joking, but there a point to be made here. When does “consumer friendly” turn into more sales, higher revenue and increased market share? Because the more “consumer friendly” Xbox gets, the further in 3rd place they go. It’s almost like video game consumers only care about new quality games while ignoring all that other fluff.
@goldenelementxl:
Eh, as a consumer I couldn't care less about such things. If I'm getting great bang for my buck, it's all good and a happy camper. I'll let the company and their investors worry about what so called place there in and how much profit they're making.
Seriously, to concern yourself with these things instead of just enjoying the benefits with a big thumbs up is a bit too umm, MS/Xbox anti-fan'ish I guess. :P
@SecretPolice: Your stance is totally acceptable in the real world. But this is system wars. In here, being 1st, 2nd and 3rd matters. And the group that’s been in 3rd for the last decade saying, “who cares about sales or placement” is disingenuous. Especially because it’s the same group that hypes spec superiority since the Scorpio was announced.
@goldenelementxl:
Indeed it's SW and you'd be much further served if you would petition via your SW threads Nintendo, to be much more like MS, and not so darn greedy. Nintendo has been the worst bang for the buck for many decades and last place in SW for being consumer friendly. Just some food for thought when considering your next subject thread. :P

You can post that for the 1038576th time and it won't matter as your post history suggests otherwise, and you're not a cow but a sheep.
