You have to wonder, if Phil is head of Xbox, then how did he not know anything about this and who made the decision to cut it from employees then?

If Phil can't even keep track of this then, who knows what else he's not aware of.

Also the wording is key here, he said no changes through 2024, so what about 2025 and beyond?

@last_lap: Yes dammit. Why the hell didn’t he guarantee them gamepass for the rest of their lives? What a cheapskate….280,000 people say thanks for nothing unky Phil.

Meanwhile, I hear whoever’s running Sony gaming these days offered a years worth of psplus if the workers did well….and 5 years if they underperformed as a punishment.

How about for as long as they work for MS. Not hard for a trillion-dollar company.

We have a saying here in Australia, is called tighter than a fish's arsehole, that's MS on this one.

@last_lap: What would you say in Australia about Sony who have never offered any of their employees PSPlus? They’re so tight you could stick lumps of coal up their butts and they would come out diamonds?

Or doesn’t that fit the narrative?

Dang, that's a bit greedy, don't ya think? I wonder if Phil also has to pay for Gamepass. I am sure he can afford it though. Also, I wonder if Netflix employees pay for Netflix.

How do you know Sony doesn't give its employees PSPlus?

@last_lap: Because it’s listed under the benefits on Sony’s job vacancies. 1 year PSplus only, no PSplus premium. It’s also listed on www.levels.fyi which researches benefits to employees.

Damn Turkey too...

https://gameworldobserver.com/2023/11/03/game-pass-price-turkey-argentina-increased-again-100-percent

Microsoft is the latest game company to recently adjust its prices in Turkey and Argentina. This comes just a few months after Game Pass subscription in these countries had already become significantly more expensive.

As reported by local media, Xbox raised prices for Game Pass earlier this week. The increase was also discussed on different subreddits.

Microsoft’s subscription service in Turkey now costs:

  • Console / PC Game Pass — ₺159, up 98.7% from the previous price of ₺79.99;
  • Game Pass Ultimate — ₺209, up 72.7% from the previous price of ₺120.99.

Below are the new Game Pass prices in Argentina:

  • Console / PC Game Pass — ARS 2,399, up 100% from the previous price of ARS 1,199;
  • Game Pass Ultimate — ARS 2,999, up 100% from the previous price of ARS 1,499.

That makes Sony lower than a snake's belly then.

@Zero_epyon: I know. But I was told by lems that price increases were anti consumer regardless of inflation when Sony did it to the PS5 in certain regions this year. Just keeping the same energy.

@Pedro: Last year they had 70% at some point, not so bad I guess.

Yeah, just business as usual. I can't even tell how this relates with the thread.

@ghostofgolden: They've also raised Gamepass prices in Argentina just now according to twitter.

And Turkey too. For the 2nd time, yes.
