It sounds like Game Pass pricing will drop soon

The solution, obviously, is AI.
Somehow it’s always AI. Just like it was blockchain before that. And “the cloud” before that.
You say “the cloud” like that isn’t the exact business model of gamepass. Instead of buying it once for a slightly higher up front cost, they’ve convinced people to just rent it and have been raising prices ever since.
Maybe not so much that one admittedly.
Keep in mind when she says that, that Microsoft is probably not looking to lower the price of GamePass, but to find other things to include in that price. I sincerely doubt they’re going to lower the price and just leave the cash on the table - they’re going to add something to the subscription to keep the people already paying $30/mo from dropping. To make it feel more worth their while.
From just the headline, I would have thought it was too expensive for Microsoft, and the price would be raised. Someone seems to have a head that isn’t firmly lodged in their asshole over there, tho.
