For sure. I feel like holding the launch price forever has been more of a recent development (some time in the last several years, ignoring nintendo) and it seems to be happening on pc too. At least on pc, we usually get a couple decent sales every year and lots of indie content.
Yeah, the suggestion that they would do it in the first place was enough to ensure that I will never purchase from them, even if they eventually get better support here in the US.
I'm generally against the rise of subscriptions in every service on the Internet, but I did actually benefit from game pass for a couple years. Access to the library meant I could try a lot of games I otherwise probably would not have played. I was only out the time I spent downloading and playing them if I didn't like them- no need to deal with returns or resale, which is especially difficult/restrictive for digital purchases.
I can't find what the original price for game pass was, but I'll do the break-even math for the current price: It looks like the highest tier game pass subscription today is ~$30/mo. Multiply by 12 months, that's $360/yr. With games typically costing $60-70, $360/yr divided by $60 is 6 games/yr.
One would need to play > 6 new games each year to save money with xbox game pass. I think that number is pretty achievable for the average gamer, but I'd be curious to see some statistics about average game consumption.
I'm not particularly old by any reasonable standard, but the biggest shock to me upon entering adulthood was how there's always some fucking thing that needs doing. Doesn't matter if it's chores, bills, or other shit, there's always something.
Yeah, I only use it because proton drive keeps duplicating a bunch of my files with merge conflicts and lacks a Linux desktop client. I'm getting ready to spin up a nextcloud instance or similar but needed something in the meantime
It's an improv comedy group that has their own streaming service, formerly known as CollegeHumor. Dropout has become fairly popular in the last couple years for a number of reasons, but basically they're funny and all-around decent folks.
I know by radio-controlled clock you probably meant the ones that automatically set the time, but I'm now imagining a kid with an RC car controller making the clock spin really fast
Damages demand restitution. I'll be chill with chik fil a when they commit to undoing the damage they've caused. "Sorry, we won't do it again" isn't acceptable, especially when their owner, Dan Cathy, continues to fund many of the same groups that chik fil a supposedly stopped funding in response to public pressure.
