Way better for the consumer!
Discussion
Honestly, I have a lot of respect for Phil Schiller so far. There has been a number of consumer friendly decisions under his leadership
As an example, when Minecraft dungeons was a thing, only one player (the host) had to own DLCs, and the entire party could play with you in them. That was a seminal moment for me - it really felt like they wanted me to have fun with my friends.
They’re recreating the feeling we had back in the day when you and your friends brought over your controllers to your other friend’s house and played his brand new games
Yep. Me and my bros pretty much exclusively play gamepass games because it has that same feel. I don’t have to ask them to spend a dime to hop on with me. We can all hop on and play. And if one is on PC, and the game bar on windows is janky (it is 🤣) they integrated discord into Xbox. It’s nice.
Gamepass is cross-play? I did not know that.
Yes Discord with Xbox is amazing. I used it with frens to play D4. 2 of us were on Xbox. The other on PlayStation 👌🏾
Do you know when next gen is coming ?
The mid-gen refresh will be this year. Rumors for new full-gen is 2026 or 2028 depending on which leaker you believe.
Very interesting
Do you think Sony will follow ?
Hard to tell. I’m a bit jaded on them after their conduct during the suits to stop the activision aq. So, I’m afraid to say much because I’ve developed a pretty strong bias. Can’t be objective.
Game theory they kinda have to. Or else Microsoft has the advantage
And it’s very obvious they cannot tolerate that. 🤣
Their bottom line can’t tolerate that 😂
PlayStation+ is doing so well….
Isn’t it expensive for not that many games compared to gamepass?
I wouldn’t know brother. Refuse to own a Sony product. Like I said, biased. I’m a big enough man to admit my opinion is less legitimate as a byproduct. 🤣
