What's going on with Gold? Is the 1 year option still gone? Didn't this basically double the price?

They appear to have made the 1 year option retail partner only. Likely trying to get more shelf space for XSS. LOL

You can still get a 12 month code from Walmart, BestBuy, GameStop, Amazon, etc.

Curious on breakdown of people with backlog vs no backlog breakdown of support.

I have a list longer than my arm of games I want to play but have no time to do so.

How about the majority who don't want to rent games?

That's an Extreme minority. Netflix and Co show people don't are about ownership like they used to

Those people won't have any issues because you can buy every game on Game pass with a discount.

TV shows and Movies that generally last a few hours and are often $20+ aren't a good comparison to video games at all.

There may be an argument for more people being ok with renting games, but that isn't it.

Extreme minority is when wayyyyyyy less of XB and PC users use such services.
GP is even worse as many of its "subscriber" numbers are inflated by them counting free and $1 trials etc.

Netflix is a household name. Most people have no clue what GP is.

Most people never really cared, because let's be honest, what's the point of owning something that's just a temporary consumption? Netflix, Spotify or Game Pass aren't any different that television, cinema, radio, etc. you consume, have fun for the moment, and move on, and never look back.
