Oh hey, there is this reasonably priced and straightforward way to play games. Let's jack up the price and add tiers!

That was the plan all along, lose money and hook people while taking the competition out. Then raise the price since there’s no competition. Anyone who didn’t set this coming, well not very business savvy apparently.
Oh and don’t forget to buy everyone else and do nothing with their IPs.
This was predicted on day one of the service. It's part of the reason they went shopping with game studios. Build a library to corner the market then price hikes galore and you can't pirate games easily for consoles. This will be the netflix 2.0
Currently game pass has become a 'game demo pass' for me. I really like modding and many games in gamepass still dont allow modding or require some really sketchy workarounds (like persona 3R). I also love indies and they are up to 1month behind on updates when compared to steam cause microsoft wants to test all of them. Basically I will find a game I like on gamepass then wishlist it on steam/gog to get the real experience.
