For anyone clicking into this thread: This thread is secretly yet another Starfield mudslinging thread.

Oh, I don't think it's a secret

No one is going to sit there and pay for a service they arnt using.

On the contrary, this is baked into the business model of every subscription service. I don’t like Kotaku, but this article from yesterday is spot on:

It’s Time To Start Killing Your Subscriptions

The prices are going up and you probably barely use them anyway

kotaku.com

If everyone would apply ‘i only pay when I use it’ strategy all the subscription services would collapse overnight. That’s why all billing is always recurring by default.

16 times the discount!

Reminder that you're defending the same "analysts" who have projected a target of 100M Game Pass users by 2028 between console, PC, mobile and cloud.

It's 2023 and they're still stuck below 30M, so let me doubt the part about them "knowing better" than anyone with common sense around here.

First of all they are not necessarily the same analysts. Companies like Microsoft have whole teams dedicated to analize M&A operations.

I also think it looks unlikely they will reach 100M subs by 2028 but they are two different topics.
