Comment on Xbox wanted 77M Game Pass subscribers by 2026 — today it has less than half that
rafoix@lemmy.zip 3 days agoThe entire point was gamepass.
The sell was with gamepass all these games are “free” on day one. If they release on other platform, they are full price.
All the other stuff is just temporary drama that would get resolved once the competition dies. The long term plan was for all the Activision Blizzard and Zenimax fans to buy Xboxes and be locked in that ecosystem until the end of time.

The takeover wasn’t just a few games for Game Pass. Those games were planned to be sold on other platforms the entire time. Many live service games would continue pumping money on all platforms, as they did before, such as WoW and Call of Duty. Plus it included way more than that, such as King part of the deal with Candy Crush and the foot on smartphones and mobile gaming.
