Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

One thing I read (a lot, oddly) is that GamePass is 'really popular'/the most popular 'subscription' service, but I have never met anyone who uses it.
I checked the numbers of people using GamePass, and it seems the numbers have gone:
2021 - 23 million
2022 - 25 million
2023 - there was a brief post on linkedin saying 30 million, but it was removed.
If even the most popular service is struggling to pass 30 million users, how exactly is Ubisoft going to compete? There's what, 120 million people with Xbox subscriptions, and they can barely get 1/4 of them to use GamePass?
It's interesting to watch 'AAA' studios absolutely faceplanting every year now, hopefully we can make a full indie-sweep soon.
All of my cousins and friends have this, becaude they don't care if they own the games.
I think.that most peple like it, I don't have ultimate, because I.like to own my games.
