The new gears has cost 200m apparently. How are they going to recoup that without PS sales?

Easy answer, just shut it down for underperforming in the hellscape of conditions you imposed.

Next question!

If gamepass was a good idea, everybody would be doing it (they don't).

EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, Sony, Nintendo - all have some variation. Putting day one games is MS, EA and Ubisoft.

Why?.... Something happened? I'm out of the loop

MS should end every gaming related.
Sell everything to competent companies.

They need to shut down the Xbox division.

Gamepass was a solution to a problem that doesn't exist and only sounds good to out-of-touch greedy CEOs. "We'll make gaming Netflix, genius!". Yeah, except that gaming is a completely different medium where this sort of thing is much less desirable. Anyone who wants many cheap games at once can just wait for the next big sale on their platform, humble bundle, get free Epic Games, etc. No need to sub to a temporary service full of 7/10 shit. If you're deep into CoD or whatever, you're probably fine just paying 70 bucks for CoD each year and probably not even interested getting anything else, so GP is also uninteresting to you.

Getting pissed over the thought of actually buying and owning your games lol.
Maybe he needs the money for his cat, who knows.

From his frame of mind, what he is saying makes sense. Sure it doesn't benefit you as a consumer if you have to buy games instead of play them for free. His anger with anyone who can't get that though, lacks depth. It doesn't benefit you as a consumer if all the studios that make games get shut down, and the games that are on the service become watered down Netflix grade games...

But if your cat needs the money, yeah maybe you are willing to ignore all that. A man has priorities.
