These fucking idiots. Short term profits ruin long term prospects.
Game Pass was a phenomenal deal. You could’ve ridden that money train for years. But you needed profits NOW so you fucked over getting new subscriptions and growing your customer base in favor of hoping people don’t drop the service.
Remember that when the talk is of “profit”, that’s just “charge extra money to line the pockets of major shareholders, because fuck you, that’s why”.
It’s a higher retail price than it has to be. You pay that.
lol this will definitely not negatively impact quality in any way. No sir.
Gotta deal with that $70 billion to acquire Activision Blizzard somehow…
