Game Pass was supposed to be the all-you-can-play subscription service that put Xbox on top after a disastrous generation. Instead, it's a failure that's threatening to ruin the company.

“Netflix for games” has proven to be far from the ideal solution.

    Lmao not defending gates, but he’s been minimally involved in MS since I think ~2003 when Ballmer took over.

      Make no mistake he is an evil man. It’s just that he excelled at actively painting himself in a good light after he left.

      Imagine saying “Hitler has been minimally involved with the Nazis since…” like it’s a good thing.

      Microslop was still founded by a pedo who banged presumably underage Russian prostitutes from Jeffrey Epstein, caught an STD, and then tried to covertly slip medications to his wife so she wouldn’t catch it.

      That company will never get a dollar from me.

        Yeah, only all this only came to light within the last year or so, so I’m sure they got their money from you already. You have a right to dislike the company and one of the founding members, yes. He did terrible things. But dude, your comment seems overfilled with hate. It’s gonna be ok!
