No freaking way. I'll believe it when I see it.
Would be absolutely huge if it happens...
Huh? He said you wouldn't need gamepass to play online either.Unsure if it'll be that huge, because they're putting all their weight into Game Pass. What good is online play if you still have to pay for a sub?
Who is this grubb guy?
No chance. MS pulled this off np when playstation was free. And sales were 50/50 back then give or take. Now Sony is brutally dominating xbox along with the switch and both charge for online. It won't matter.Let’s hope Sony follows suit.
It's the ultimate PR play to play the "good guy". The corrupt press will rush to forgive them and make the public forget that they were the ones who first introduced the practice. The same press who defended said practice since its inception.This doesn't make sense unless they've already decided internally to bow out of the hardware market sometime in the future.
As that random person noted. Xbox Live is their tried and true moneymaker, not gamepass. No matter how much PR fluff they make about it.

And what about cloud saves and instant video capture uploads into the cloud? That takes gigs of space, can't be cheap over time. This is a service I'm still willing to pay for. I do not want this compromised at all. The auto video uploads feature is SO good. On PS4 I have to manually upload the videos, having them just appear in the cloud automatically and ready for me to share was a huge feather in the Xbox cap IMO.
Plenty of F2P games have flopped through. The game has to be top class to perform exceptionally, warframe and fortnite two examples of top class f2p games. Destiny 2 now turned f2p and rocket league following too.This is a killer move for Xbox and i hope its true. It also corelates with that leak saying Halo Infinite MP will be F2P which will be insanity on its own.
For what its worth, if anyone has been watching how the industry has shifted over the last few years, F2P is the way to a gigantic audience. No barriers to entry other than the hardware you own and if a game is made flexible enough to play on literally everything (ala Halo being cross-gen) then it will only boom in popularity. Fortnite did it and had massive success, Warzone did it and has equally massive success and now Halo is going to do it and will probably have wildly massive success seeing as EVERYONE is waiting to try it out to see if it will succeed or fail.
Can you imagine, $40 for the campaign/story, Multiplayer + Forge F2P and download? Exciting times for Xbox fans. naesayers be damned.
What’s his podcast called?He's the newest credible insider who rose to prominence a few months ago. As far as I can tell, he has yet to be wrong.
He also has a great podcast that I highly recommend.
Because they have not officially announced anything. They always say it for all free to play games.
PSN has not been anemic anymore and got quite reliable a while back. I stopped paying for Plus a few years ago, but my experience was fine.But for the price people paid for XBL services, aren't their services vastly superior and premium experienced compared to the anemic version of the same that is PSN?

OneDrive is free for every Windows 10 user up to a certain amount of space. So it wouldn’t be unprecedented for them to offer such a service for free.

But if you've had told me in 2012 that MS would be in such dire straits I wouldn't have believed you. That division has been managed extremely poorly. Peter Moore's baby is no more.
Somehow everything can be turned into "play the good guy" or "consumer friendly move" when convenient. It cant just be labelled just as PR, when it only benefits the consumers.It's the ultimate PR play to play the "good guy".

A lot of that money is used for the free games we download. In the grand of schemes of things it does not matter.Money is money however. Xbox Live Gold is money.
I say better late than never at this point. Doesn't matter to me either way. I'll have gamepass, probably forever.Somehow everything can be turned into "play the good guy" or "consumer friendly move" when convenient. It cant just be labelled just as PR, when it only benefits the consumers.

It's now "Gamepass with...well...just gamepass". You like 4 games a month for your subscription. Well here's 200, right now.What about my games with gold?

Quality of gold free games has gone down a lot. Its at the point where I dont care anymore.What about my games with gold?

True but i give Halo a lot more credibility than most random games though. Even though Halo 5 flopped it still had an active MP to this day at a full retail price. I'm sure this will be more than succesful and while true that they make money in other means, if Halo 5 is anything to go by it's mainly cosmetic and hopefully stays that way.Plenty of F2P games have flopped through.
