Since the original xbox(2001) people already saw Microsoft as coming to take gamers away to a PC type platform and then control pc. Once they get the majority there they can jack the prices to 120$ a month and it will be too late for you to do anything about it because all consoles will be gone.

This is pretty much how cable took over the tv industry and controlled who could get sports. and other content.

They can muscle STEAM buy buying the big exclusives.

Vetgamer1800d ago

It's not just Microsoft the industry is moving towards one box does all I like the idea I can play on my laptop and continue on my xbox. I'd love to be able to play all games on one box and just pay subs to Microsoft Sony Nintendo and it wouldn't be 120 because folk won't pay it.

Unspoken1800d ago

Going to need another SSD. Thank you Microsoft.

mikeslemonade1800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

MS has sold me on game pass on pc.

^But I spend line $120 a month on games anyway.

Sayai jin1800d ago

Sweet deal, especially if you already have Xbox live and/or game pass. I already had 24 months XBL and I was able to upgrade to game pass ultimate for $1 a month for 24 months. It won't cost $14 until 2021.

Nice! $5 will give me all Xbox first party and more. PC gaming is so awesome.

chiefJohn1171800d ago

Ya but console gaming is much better. Better offerings

Razzer1800d ago

You are free to your opinion, but what "better offerings" are you referring to?

Si-Fly1800d ago

Let me know when I can play iRacing on my PS4 and run triple screens with a Simucube wheel and Heusinkveld pedals 👍🏻

1800d ago
chiefJohn1171800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

Opinion? It's a fact I referring to Gamepass on console vs PC. I wasn't talking about in general however games like RDR2 being console only makes a good case against that too.

I think we already had this conversation

AspiringProGenji1800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

RDR2 will come in time. PC in the end do and will have the best library. We can play xbox exclusives now without a console. That’d be my only reason to get Gamepass.

Razzer1800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

Well, you did say "console gaming is much better". A bit of a broad statement so the fact that you were talking about Game Pass wasn't clear. And we don't know the full details about Game Pass on PC so whether it is "better" or "worse" remains to be seen. One aspect we do know is the PC version costs half of the Xbox version. That is objectively better. As for the rest, I expect we hear more about Game Pass on PC tonight.

"I think we already had this conversation"

Yes, but that was before MS announced PC would be getting its own version of Game Pass.

1800d ago
chiefJohn1171800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

Razzer don't know much? Do it's right in front you Gamepass on Xbox offer more games simple as that. Maybe in time it'll improve tho

Aspiring come in time? This is rdr2 game of the gen do I look like I wanna wait and hope for it to come years later? Goh with that mess. Yes that's very good reason to get Gamepass I agree. But Hitman, Metro, Shadow of the tomb raider.....is pretty good incentive to say the least lol. Oh wait I don't think some of those are on the PC version so don't quote me on that.

Bamboo why you mad doe? Lol I used big words? Where? Anyway. Steam? I'll take Gamepass for $1 Alex xD

Don't like it, well I got two words for ya. "My Opinion" lol

Razzer1800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

"Razzer don't know much? Do it's bright in front you Gamepass on Xbox offer more games simple as that. "

Do it's bright in front of me? Are you drunk already? sigh.....I'm saying there is a press conference later today from MS and more details may not have been revealed. Either way, PC Game Pass costs $5. Half as much as Xbox. Simple as that.

"Don't like it, well I got two words for ya. "My Opinion""

Which is what I said at the start, but I don't think you had as much sauce in your gut at that point. Take it slow man.

meep3161799d ago

yes there are some good games on console that arent on pc, but there are just much more games on pc period.

You're a funny guy Razzer. It say "right in front of you" not "bright" so no I'm not drunk maybe you need reading glasses xD. "my opinion" was referring to bamboo dude about steam vs Gamepass. Not PC vs Xbox Gamepass. Xbox has PC gamepass games and more (for now) so no opinion there just facts.

Razzer1800d ago

lol.....I copied and paste your own words. Ok.....so you edited it. That's cool. Although "Do it's right in front you" still doesn't make much sense. Do? Do what? lol

"Xbox has PC gamepass games and more (for now) so no opinion there just facts."

And at twice the cost. That's a fact you repeatedly seem to leave out.

console gamepass far superior imo. but, pc version is okay, and since console is only okay imo then pc version sucks. but, better than kicking rocks. now pc being better than consoles for gaming to each their own.

Deathdeliverer1800d ago

Microsoft.... they continue to give you reasons NOT to get their console.

NeoGamer2321800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

Gaming is not only consoles.

Gaming is on many devices. Consoles, Phones, Tablets, and PC. Microsoft is making it so I can game anywhere, anytime, and on any device and enjoy the true gaming platform which is their network.

I do not understand why you only must have only a console. Do you carry a console everywhere you go? Do you buy several consoles so you can play in a den and youtr living room? Lineups at retail/entertainment, to restaurants eating out, travelling in a vehicle, trips, etc. All places where you may have some time and want to play a game. Consoles aren't the only device that people play games on. There are over a billion gamers that play games on more then just consoles.

thatguyhayat1800d ago

But then what relevance will Xbox have? Theres people with PC who buy ps4 and/or switch cause of great exclusives. PS4 you can cause of game sharing with Vita. You can buy add on for L2 and R2. Switch can easily be carried along with it too

NeoGamer2321800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

@thatguyhayat

I buy devices to play games on in context of how I want to play.

For example, me and a friend sit on a huge couch in front of a setup I have with two 55" TVs and all the modern consoles to play co-op games. I also prefer living room play... Then, I have a den... In there it is just PCs. Then I go out and I only carry a phone, when I travel in a plane I carry only a tablet, etc. There are many places I want to play games. A console is only one of them. I can increase my (time) ability to play games significantly by streaming and multi-platform networks.

People have to quit looking at this as "I only game on X device"... Start looking at it as "Y's network allows me to game on all these devices, carry my purchases, save my profiles//friends/game saves, and gives me achievements/trophies/badges, etc. ".

beulahland1800d ago

@thatguyhayat dude, PS4 is on its final dance, dude (as is Xbox One). And Vita? Duuuuude, pleaaaase.

King_Noctis1800d ago

Is that a bad thing? Because honestly I see this benefits no one but gamers. You don’t have to force yourself to get their console to play their game if you already have a gaming PC.

indysurfn1800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

You can't see any reason?

RememberThe3571800d ago

It's a wired thing though to undermine your own product. Why be in the console business if you don't have any focus on your console?

King_Noctis1800d ago

@Remember

That is for MS to worry about, not gamer. Obviously there is market for both console and PC gaming. MS is giving you that choice.

Livingthedream1800d ago

Some people prefer to play on console some on PC, the fact is you're not going to see halo or any other MS game on playstation doing that would kill the Xbox. If PlayStations exclusives games were also available on PC ot wouldn't kill the PlayStation. People have narrow minds and cant see beyond to what they're trying to accomplish

StrengthInNumbers1800d ago

Fortunately for Microsoft, 'you' does not mean everyone.

Orionsangel1800d ago

Pretty soon Xbox consoles will cease to be and you can download the Xbox Live service to Windows and manage your account and play your Xbox games on PC. Which at that point they just become PC games.

meep3161800d ago

Not that soon, but it could happen.

starchild1800d ago

Look, that will probably never happen unless consoles in general go away. Do millions of people game on PCs? Yes. Do millions of people game on consoles. Again, the answer is yes. So clearly both types of gaming devices have their role in this industry. Microsoft is just giving people a choice about where to play their games. I don't see how that can be construed as something negative.

meep3161800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

It’s more like they aren’t forcing you one way or another, as long as you are a customer. A significant portion of pc gamers also have atleast one console.

mcstorm1800d ago

Spot on and people also forget that consoles don't tend to make the company £ it's done via software and by opening up pc to xbox it will generate more software sales. Just like gamepass also seems to be making them alot of £ to.

Zeref1800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

Console players will always buy consoles. PC players will always play on PC. This is good for the gaming industry in general.

As an Xbox player that rarely games on PC mostly because no achievements and no desire to buy PC games, let alone the other negatives like cheaters, GamePass Ultimate is definitely gonna make me play some more games on PC. Especially FPS games. At no extra cost.

Razzer1800d ago

"because no achievements"

PC has achievements.

Zeref1800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

i'm talking about Xbox achievements.

TK-661800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

"i'm talking about Xbox achievements."

Xbox achievements are on PC. Find an Xbox Play Anywhere title and you can earn achievements in it on your PC and that's only going to get easier now that GP is coming to PC.

spwittbold1800d ago

Yet if you play PC games, you're playing on a Microsoft console.
If you play on PS4, you are playing on subpar hardware :)

XtaZ1800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

MS give everyone reason to buy their products like games, controllers and subscriptions where the actual money is made because they have finally moved away from the retarded concept that is closed down consoles that does a complete reboot every 5-8 years that sets them back to 0 sales at every generational refresh and also by ditching the moronic exclusivity bullshit that makes zero sense from a business perspective since they are just crippling their sales by limiting themselves to less than 100 million potential buyers. Also console gamers will still be be console gamers and continue to buy a Xbox console regardless of the games being available on PC or not and these people still get to enjoy the most powerful console with the superior ecosystem and tech.

How people are so stupid that they still don't grasp this is beyond me.

starchild1800d ago

@Deathdeliver
I don't want reasons to buy a console. Buying hardware isn't my goal. Playing games that interest me is.

Having to buy a console is at best just a costly step in getting to that goal.

DragonbornZ1800d ago

It doesnt matter. As long as you're in and or supporting their ecosystem they dont care.
Software drives revenue for these companies.

@Thatguyhyat
Bruh people just like consoles. I say this as a guy who constantly witches between my rig with a 1070 and consoles.

Not only that it's just easier. I know one dude who recently bought an xbox one just so he could play fortnite. He asked me about PC gaming aswell, but in the end decided to go with a simpler cheaper solution.
I know another guy who bought one for the same reason, though not for fortnite lol, and hes the type of guy who used to play WOW, Overwatch, and Siege on PC. With him tho he has a family and a new kid coming.

A lot of people dont care about a lot of the stuff we talk about, they just jump in where the barrier is lowest so they can play games.

343_Guilty_Spark1800d ago

And you continue to think gaming is about owning one plastic box

TK-661800d ago (Edited 1800d ago )

"Microsoft.... they continue to give you reasons NOT to get their console."

Why is making their games available on more platforms a negative? If your response is "well they're not exclusive to the console now" then I need to ask why that's a bad thing? If the consoles are all you care about then the games being on PC shouldn't bother you because you're not playing there right? Why are we reacting negatively to MS allowing you to play games on your Xbox, PC and a tablet? Was it a bad thing when Sony did the same with the PS3 and Vita? Why is adding an option that has no clear downsides being talked about negatively? Is it bad that you can play PS4 games on your PC via PS Now?

Razuel1799d ago

True, but otherwise I'd just be a PS4 customer with the rare steam purchase. Now I am a MS customer.

Not really much worth playing that I don't already have, but for $1? I guess it's not a bad deal.

If Metro Exodus is really on the list I'm in.

Araragifeels 1800d ago

I really wanted Xbox Game Pass for PC to include Xbox 360 games.

ORyanDeee1800d ago

decided to try it since its only $1 for the first month. cant for the life of me navigate the microsoft store, doesnt seem to be a list i can filter of just whats in the PC games pass

Parasidious1800d ago

Just click on any category under games, then there will be 3 drop boxes, one says subscription, select Game Pass. It'll only show you games available on windows 10.

--bienio--1800d ago

If I don’t have Xbox account and want to try game pass on pc do I still can use this offer 1£ ? Or I got to pay full price?

conanlifts1800d ago

I assume you would need to create an account on PC. Easy enough to do.

conanlifts1800d ago

Download the gamepass app on your phone and see if it works with the pc version.
