Abreil maybe it's not us and it's actually you, honestly why the F would you say that people are wrong for wanting numbers that back up their claims.
You are the problem for defending them when OBVIOUSLY they are engaging in obfuscation and misleading people. This is a company that has REPEATEDLY got caught lying to their investors and consumers and convicted of such in court in multiple different cases over their history.
Let me say I understand you have to report what Microsoft says.
But, Abriel you quite factually called the FTC ambulance chasers when you were with techraptor and adamantly defended the buy out on N4G. And Micrsoft did in fact get forced to admit that many of thier prior statement about Game Pass and Xbox were in fact untrue in that case. As well as plenty of other times where things they said turned out to be untrue.
You would think that after all the times Microsoft has made claims about Game Pass profitability then to be proven to have lied or at a minimum mislead people as shown by various factors, even in court statements and documents that people would stop falling for it.
But I guess when certain people pushed so hard to convince people that industry consolidation by Microsoft was a good idea they have to keep defending them and pushing the narrative forever.
Well, certainly no one should question the honesty of a Microsoft executive...
But, I heard that between people downgrading and canceling it was as much as 30%.
And even though they raised the price of Game Pass Ultimate by 50% and an average increase across all tiers of 38% which of course grew subscribers so, you would think it should have made significantly more money, but you know who am I to argue its not simply CoD, it did massively under perform.
...
Game Pass growing... that's not what I hear, I hear that it shed around 30% of it's Ultimate subscribers after the price hike as well people canceling other tiers. And you just reported services were down which would indicate the exact opposite.
