Yeah, I think honestly if you want a “clap back” moment (and I dont see them needing to anyway), but if you do… xbox coming in and essentially saying “Right, this is even more easy for everybody. You’ve got Gamepass or Gamepass Ultimate. We are ditching GWG and making MP free for all” would be the mic drop of the generation.
Can Sony do it? Yes, they could. But they would take a huge hit (as would MS) and they are more reliant on that cash flow than MS is.
I still think it’s coming. GWG has been utter tripe for the longest time with no sign of getting better, and everybody knows killing the online sub would be massive.
I find it highly unlikely that Microsoft would do anything to counter Spartacus or any other announcement from a competitor. I just don’t think huge businesses like Microsoft operate like that, most everything is carefully measured and planned.
Would be nice, but between annual plans and rewards I think rewards is still the better deal for us (if you dedicate around 10min a day to it it’s essentially free)
I wonder if XboxUK Twitter is still “savage” like two years ago. I remember how they poke fun at Smart Delivery just works swiftly after PS users had trouble. I can imagine they would do the same with Game Pass April lineup announcement.
