This comment section is incredible.
The "DLC Subscription" is an ADDITIONAL OPTION, the ability to buy individual DLC as they come out is not changing.
Christ, some of you people have a hair trigger when it comes to calling for piracy and boycotts.
Horse armor, you have to speak up right away now.
You're being downvoted, but these are the same arguments people made back then. It starts small, and if it works, there's more and more of it.
That said, I'm subscribed to XBGP (for PC) because I've found that it's a fair bit cheaper for me than owning the games, and I rarely miss a game after I've played it. And if I do really want to play it later again, I buy it. Sometimes I wait for a big sale, and sometimes it's just a little sale.
I think $10/mo is ridiculous, considering XBGP for PC is the same price, but that's on them to figure that price point out.
I'm predicting this will be a dismal failure. I count about $200 in DLC currently, so if you bought them over time and played with them each individually (instead of being overwhelmed with them right away) you could probably have about the same spend over 2 years, but you'd own them.
And if you wait for a sale that subscription is horrible value.
There is no difference between the "Expansion Subscription" being offered now and "Season Passes" which have existed for more than a decade. Not sure where you got the idea that you're raising the alarm early, but you're a decade behind the curve.
Lmao most people here make sure that they don't let a single ounce of reason get in the way of their burning hatred for having to pay for things
