And we always get the short end of the stick. $115 US for a game, and my current internet costs $124 US a month, for 60GB and the speed is about 13900 kb/s

I'm one who likes to have things in my hands, rather than some digital format buried on a dis I never see spinning inside a device I can not open.

There will alway sbe a need from within the community as consumers for real-world-items. Digital DIstribution, while being a brilliant delivery medium, willnot replace the disc versons of games, not for any foreseeable future anyhow. It was tried with Newspapers, and even books (eBooks) as they firmly believed that those would hose away paper and the need to buy a printed object again.

Looking back, thsoe companies backtracked very fast wehn they saw that their target audience wanted hands-on items. That their lifestyles did not allow immediate delivery of media nd that a book, news and even game in this case, is something most people take time with. And also like to pass-on to others, or sell when the time comes to move onto something new.

This can't happen with DD, and we'll be limited to the number of plays we can have without buying yet another license to re-use it. And if you think that's a bit far fetched, just look at software licenses NOW. You get a certain number of uses, or can only use in on one or two devices, you can't back it iup, and if you do, you have to pay additional costs . .It's where the companies make their huge profits from.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
