    Xbox game pass being forced onto players?


    Gold membership is roughly $60 a year in order to play online multiplayer and occassionally recieve free game downloads.

    Game pass if roughly $200 a year for able to do the same as gold but with added discounts for food delivery, Spotify, and roughly 10% off digital game purchases. Being able to play anywhere does seem nice if mobile devices support it along with the network.
    FYI, major networks can barely support current demand let alone 5G(required) to play. The costs will only go up.

    Downfall that Im seeing is that as a consumer of video game media, if I accept being forced to buy game pass just to play with my friends, I no longer own my games. When the game pass expires or removes my game from the list, my games will no longer be playable
    even if I have a hard copy. So roughly $200 a year to try some games, less material impact on the enviroment(maybe),more money directly to developers(maybe), and no longer be able to play my games.

    Why would I want to pay that in order to just play online with my friends?

    Is there any better option other than just dropping Xbox or wasting money for unwanted monthly subcription?

    :)

    ... About the 12 month of Xbox live gold...

    I agree but they will find a way to add the price to game pass, or force everyone onto gamepass ultimate. 🤔 just thinking out loud . 👍

    No Man's Sky not starting via XBox Game Pass PC

    It's probably down to the rumour I heard, the games on the game pass are actually the Xbox versions of the game being forced to run on windows, as opposed to the PC versions available on STEAM

    Kinnect Free Console

    Choice would be to offer the option of a Kinect or a Kinect less package. Then if neither appeal, do not buy.

    Not buying something as a piece of hardware you do not want is being forced onto you is not "choice". That is lack of options leading to a unwanted decision.

    -

    How is forcing Kinect onto people going to tell developers people will use it for gaming or at all?

    How are they going to tell the difference between people that will use Kinect and people that will just unplug it never to use it or sell it, or destroy it?

    So going back to a tired point...why force it onto people that do not want it?

    Will this not also affect Microsoft's profits? Giving away a piece of hardware they have paid to develop, build and sell that people will not use.

    -

    I'm not saying allowing people to chose Kinect or not will be 100% accurate...but it'll be a much more accurate figure than forcing onto people and just "hoping" they use it.

    At least with people choosing Kinect of their own free will...you know there is a market there.

    Besides, I'm the one stating that Kinect being forced onto people will not sway developers at all.

    Why force a piece of hardware onto people that do not want it?

    I'm being forced to buy an Xbox one with a blueray player. I plan on buying digital and have a blueray player. I do not need or want another one. Why is MS forcing me to buy one? Damn you MS!

    Forced crossplay for Warzone 2?

    Why would Activision only force crossplay on Xbox players? This seems completely illogical so it definitely does feel like Xbox have to have some involvement here.

    It’s ridiculous that we are forced to play with mouse and keyboard players. Even PC players with a controller have the frames advantage and also the ability to use hacks.

    I do not know a single Xbox player who likes that fact that we are the only ones forced into crossplay and essentially become being cannon fodder for PC players lol
