How much was it before it was $29.99 a month? 🤔
Looks like it was $19.99 a month until they raised it to $29.99 6 months ago.
Still an extra $3 a month though!
Maybe not a good look to go "AI! AI! AI!" when the actual creatives who use the product get attacked for using AI:
Among CEOs? Probably true. Workers are being outsourced in droves though.
If you're going to include pack ins like Wii Sports then Windows Solitaire and Minesweeper smoke everything...

I was disappointed they didn't mention Deadpool and Wolverine even once, but checking the date, the article was 2023 and the movie 2024...
Quite a few games as a service games look like they could have been turned into interesting single player story based games if, you know, someone bothered to write a story for it.
Brink for example had fantastic art assets and back story, but no actual story.
More important is if the game looks and runs well.
Normal post surgical stuff after, you know, getting gutted like a fish. 😉 Stage 2 colon cancer surgery.
Sycophantic, but also "lawsuit avoidant".
I was released from the hospital following surgery last month and I had a bleeding "event". I use the word "event" because it sounds more festive.
Shortly after that, I went to the bathroom, the bleeding seemed to have stopped.
Just for fun, I thought I'd ask ChatGPT what it thought, telling it the nature of the surgery, the bleeding event, the non-bleeding event, and asking it "So... best of three?"
And it went HARD on "this is not a best of three scenario! Call 9-1-1! Do it now! You could pass out! Call 9-1-1!"
I did not call 9-1-1. The bleeding did not resume, I'm fine.
We've had some trouble recently with posts from aggregator links like Google Amp, MSN, and Yahoo.
We're now requiring links go to the OG source, and not a conduit.
In an example like this, it can give the wrong attribution to the MBFC bot, and can give a more or less reliable rating than the original source, but it also makes it harder to run down duplicates.
So anything not linked to the original source, but is stuck on Google Amp, MSN, Yahoo, etc. will be removed.
Personally, I think GamePass is a terrible idea.
The money developers get for GamePass "sales" isn't enough to keep them in business, look at Tango Gameworks, who did Hi-Fi Rush. Great game, well received, lots of players.
Studio closed 4 months later.
If someone like Tango can't survive on a game like Hi-Fi Rush, it doesn't speak well for the business model.
So what you end up with are fewer games and lower quality games, it's a race to the bottom.
Also, the push to digital only reduces the footprint in stores, so when people go to buy consoles, all they see are a bunch of old games, or (worse) no games at all, as we see in the Xbox section in Target and Walmart recently.
So GamePass encourages fewer games, lower quality games, a reduced footprint at retail, and ultimately, lower sales.
