Translation: Yes. But, we won’t announce that until you’ve got no choice.
“You have the choice to either pay for game pass or not play any games.”
“hey gang, who wants to go sailing with me?”
“yarr!”
I see you person from 2027 looking back at this post finding statements to prove how they were lying when they said this.
It’ll be interesting to see how close your date prediction ends up being
Sorry I’m actually here trying to find radio parts for my time machine from the lanternfly famine timeline
Forget all that shit, anyone have an IBM 5100 lying around?
I would like to register my future reference of calling bull, hello future me.
Yeah, I call complete bs. Should they ever get a large amount (majority) of marketshare with the Xbox brand, they’ll absolutely do that.
Microsoft is gonna Microsoft. Just look how they abuse their Windows marketshare to try and shove Microsoft Edge down your throat. The latest trick I encountered at work was that Outlook now has its own setting for which browser to open links in, it doesn’t respect the OS default browser anymore by default.
The problem with statements like these are even if Phil is telling the truth right now there’s no saying what will happen 7 years later.
- Xbox could be losing much more badly than they are now and could try new ways of getting exclusives
- shareholders could want more and more
- Phil could be replaced by the next Don Mattrick
Consumers don’t own games especially on consoles where they are too tightly tied up with the company who made the hardware. Don’t take this statement too seriously because you never know what will happen.
But he’s not even telling the truth right now. All the FTC documents have shown everything he’s publicly said in the last 5 years has been nothing but lies.
Of course they will claim stuff changes, but the internal documents show that it’s always been lies, always.
Why would they do that? They would absolutely make another more expensive game pass ++ pro tier and keep the exclusives there
See… Choices!
This guy is that one puzzle guy where everything they say is a lie
I understand the reflexive hate for tech executives, but you can do a lot worse than Phil Spencer.
He seems nice and is probably a gamer. But if Microsoft doesn’t profit enough on games I believe all the niceness will quickly disappear.
Currently? Not really, not one thing he has said has head of Xbox has turned out to be true.
- That’s their internal deadline to be profitable. Before that you can enjoy all the sales and cheap games.

2027. That's their internal deadline to be profitable. Before that you can enjoy all the sales and cheap games.But it picked up 2027 as the start of a numbers list.

Lemmy interpreted the year with a period as a numerical list. And since the formatting for lists is apparently fixed, larger numbers keep shifting to the left until they 're pushed off the page.
It’s doing the same thing in Voyager, lol.

It’s not about whether they say they will, it’s about whether they can
Bull shit, one of their conditions for a game to be on game pass is it can’t be on another streaming service. How is that choice…?
You’re confusing Game Pass for PS+
Sure. Take Sonys word for something they are doing.
They all do it, but one has publicly claimed they don’t while the other admits they do. Everyone else hasn’t claimed either way.
So who’s the bad guys here? Sony for pointing it out or MS for continuing to lie about it?
