So most of the gaffers will have to pay 2 USD instead of 1 USD for 3 years of gamepass?

 

[Hawking Radiation]

I remember when I said Xbox will join PS with price increases and that these companies are not your friends.

Let me get nice and fucking cozy in here...
Gona be a good one.

Best deal in gaming has stopped getting better

 

[Skifi28]

That's a given, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

[C2brixx]

This is like waiting on Microsoft to finally sell off XBox. Lets wait for the future...

 

[Markio128]

Deal in gaming.

 

[vivftp]

Quick, someone blame Jim Ryan and greedy Sony!

 

[DeepEnigma]

Gaming's politician. As I have said before.

You are beholden to your shareholders, you can only eat losses and little revenue increases compared to pre-recession and major inflation for so long.

I expect a lot of people to suddenly understand the meaning of words like ‘inflation’, ‘recession, ‘global economy’

Nah some think Xbox has access to a bottomless pit of cash from daddy MS so therefor price increases won't hit Xbox division.
Fucking hilarious

 

[The_Mike]

Price won't increase, the gold to GP conversion will just be removed.

 

[dotnotbot]

That's a given, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

It should have, delaying it just a little is a sneaky strat to make their competitors appear as greedy (since their competitors rely more on hardware and games sales it's easy to do as they can't wait longer than MS).

It's going to suck terribly for people at third world countries. Time to buy 3 years of Gold and convert into XGP Ultimate before it's too late

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Well no shit they're eventually going to raise the price. The only question is when, and by how much.

 

[jm89]

Get of that philium bro, you know it's coming eventually.

Waits patiently for Kingfey 2.0 to give us the rundown.

What on earth are you on about? Everything increases in price at some point, you're hardly Nostradamus

 

[Jennings]

I hope they manage to properly price the service at its actual value.

 

[AlexxKidd]

Follow the leader.

 

[Punished Miku]

I don't think anyone actually thought the sub would never increase in price. Consoles increasing in price is still pretty controversial and would surprise me.

Really just have to see what they have planned.

 

[Stuart360]

It should of increased already to be honest. I pay £7.99 a month for PC gamepass, that includes EA PLay, and now a bunch of Ubisoft games.
Compared to Ubisoft Plus which is £12.99 for around 100 Ubisoft games.

Its ridiculous the price of Gamepass really but i suppose you have to offer a great price to get people into the eco system. Still i will be surprised if it rises more than something like 3 or 4 pounds, which i will be more than happy to pay.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Gamers unite.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Yeah but what about NEXT holiday Phil?

Spoiler

Glad I'm locked in for 3 more years. Don't know if I could do the regular monthly price

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[OmegaSupreme]

 

[Black_Stride]

Were people expecting to keep paying "1" dollar for Gamepass forever?
We were paying 1 dollar when there were 100 games.....theres over 500 now, when it reaches 1000 I doubt we will still be looking at 1 dollar charge.
Its prices was bound to go up eventually.

As for consoles.......fuck that nopise.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Not consoles. That's why this is controversial genius

 

[The_Mike]

Gamepass OR console.

At least they wait until after the holidays with the price changes, instead of Sony upping their prices before the holidays.

 

[Negotiator101]

He's one smug son of a bitch though, but he is holding the price over the holiday season and that should be applauded.

I think someone needs to bump that thread for Negotiator101

He's having a case of Gafnesia.

Looking forward to Darkmages take on this news

The most positive of spin.

Try telling that to the hordes that trolled the PS threads when Sony announced increase of PS5 consoles or when Sony announced increase from $60 to $70 games.

What were terms thrown around?
'Greedy Sony'
'Arrogant PS is back'
There must be a few more I'm sure.

And no I'm not Nostradamus. It's called common sense.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Anticonsumer!

They need to redact those CMA documents against Sony.

 

[Negotiator101]

Thanks for the compliment but genius is probably pushing it

I keep getting my GP through MS Rewards.

 

[IFireflyl]

They are waiting until after their Activision Blizzard acquisition to go through since part of their response to the CMA was that Sony raised prices to take advantage of the market, and raising their prices right now will show that that was a load of manure.

 

[Thief1987]

This can't be right. I'm sure that great guy phil will better starve himself to death before even think about harming his consumers

 

[Bernkastel]

Get of that philium bro, you know it's coming eventually.

Removing the 1 usd deal and Gold conversion is the price increase buddy. Everyone knows someday that will go away. 15 USD is also what most subscription MMOs charge. Any more than that will not retain any users and is just some wild fanboy dream.

Gaming's politician. As I have said before.

This just reads like some "Bethesda games will be multiplat as they can't ignore the multiplat revenue, they are a business company" tier copium.

 

[The_Mike]

PlayStation 5 console got a price increase back in August, so it's not really that unusual.
