Comment on Xbox wanted 77M Game Pass subscribers by 2026 — today it has less than half that
sealhaslupus@lemmy.world 3 days agothats right, the average ‘gamer’ is casual. they’ll purchase a couple games per year and maybe a handful more on special.
gaming itself is a leisure activity so when other aspects of life starts getting expensive or free time is reduced then what gets dropped first is an overpriced subscription service.

Yeah they really forgot games are something I would buy on a whim during good times. Now? I’m not going to spend even $60 on a game, or a subscription, until well after any game as released to make sure it’s worth it. I’d much rather replay red dead or mass effect or Skyrim again then spend $60 on some lame boring corporate game
