I think that one of Microsoft's biggest mistakes is their lack of marketing toward their games including Game Pass.
Netflix is the biggest subscription service at the moment and you still often see advertisements for Netflix.

On the other hand, MS seems incapable of paying some YouTube ads for Gamepass.

You're kidding right? Microsoft advertised the hell out of Game Pass and got nearly every game journalist to praise it. None of it was enough to convince most people.

Petebloodyonion15d ago

You're totally right!

I guess that must mean Sony is the biggest idiot here since they are running, Tv ads, Youtube ads, and movie ads for games like Final Fantasy 7, Spider-Man2, Tlou part2 remasters, etc when Gamespot, IGN, etc are always gushing over these games.
Whose idiotic idea was it to make sure that I know that the TLOU series is on HBO?
As a matter of fact, why does Disney run commercials on TV for the next big Disney movie?

MS will have to choose, Xbox hardware sales or Gamepass. With Gamepass being tied to Xbox hardware and the sales being so low they aren't going to get more subs unless they go cloud (Via dongles), on Nintendo or Sony machines. They can still make Xbox's maybe put timed GP games on it but they expect sales of GP when hardware sales are so low.

They've already chosen. They are going cloud streaming and mobile.

Aren't you the guy that said Steam's database information is lying about the game being pulled from 170 stores

I'm this is abit different to the headline. If says that it's just people in Russia and Ukraine experiencing this. Given restrictions mean their can't legally operate in Russia and bns belarus

This is about Russia and Belarus and the war on Ukraine, however I don't know why the ban is happening now? The people in these countries have been using VPN for ages now
