Textbook capitalism. Ruin Game Pass pricing with CoD, to boost some sub numbers "for a while". Short term profit, to please those execs!

[–] FryHyde@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

For context, Game Pass subscription prices are increasing a bit, the console version's base plan is going away, and new subscriptions have been declining a bit in the last several months.

Modern Warfare 3 (the new remake) is currently on Gamepass, and it comes with all the other chronically online stuff CoD has been running for years.

In other words, he's not wrong. It's a big popular thing, and will likely increase the value proposition of GamePass for some indefinite period of time.
