ninjan, w Gamepass has 30 million members

That is a pretty substantial subscription base, no wonder it’s profitable even if it at times feels like a really good deal. Like now when Starfield launched on Game Pass.

Yeah the maths starts to add up. (There are some assumptions below, but you get the jist).

  • The Xbox One had a software attach rate of 7 gamers per console^1 sold or on average that’s 1 game per year per user for the life of the console.
  • In the Xbox One generation over 8 years they sold 0.875 games per user per year. Assume £50 a game. That’s £43 per xbox console owner per year.
  • Per gamepass subscriber they’re currently recieving £90+ in subscriptions per year.
muddybulldog,

There is a significant number of GP subscribers that don’t pay nearly that much, if anything at all.

I passively accumulate enough MS Rewards points each year to not have to pay for GPU just by using Bing for search.

lustrum,

Right but even if you half the number it’s still only on par with last generation with significantly more room to grow and predictable income.

Xanvial,

Isn’t gamepass subscribers count already stagnated? It was 25m in January 2022, statista.com/…/xbox-game-pass-subscriber-count-gl….

robbieIRL,

I like that you said “significant number” and your example was one person, you.

flames5123, w Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - Official Story Trailer

I’ve only seen the first movie twice and not the second. When I went to Disney World a few years ago, I loved Pandora. The Flight of Passage ride was amazing. I had an emotional experience on it. You’re riding your banshee and then it comes to a stop and you feel it breathing against your legs. I suspended my disbelief for a second and teared up at that experience.

I may pick this game up, but the Ubisoft part has me worried. I’ll wait until after launch, but if the world is like that ride, I think I’ll have a pretty good time.

How did this game get all these well known actors? Like, how?

Am I the only one who saw this and thought “Mexican Kiryu”?

holiday, w Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - Official Story Trailer

I haven’t bought an Ubisoft game at launch for over a decade. I don’t plan on starting now. Looks good but my breath is not held.

SurfinBird, w Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023

This game’s final boss kicked my butt and I will never get over it.

CluckN, w Princess Peach: Showtime! | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023

The first Peach-like game.

Don’t forget Super Princess Peach on the DS, where she wielded the amazing power of mood swings! Very progressive.

jdeath, w F-ZERO 99 - Nintendo Switch Online | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023

what in tarnation…

krashmo, w Super Mario RPG | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023

What a great game this was. I might actually buy a Switch just to play it.

Daefsdeda,

Would recommend just emulating it and saving your money for maybe a next release. This of course if you have a pc capable of it.

gk99, w Square Enix games misfire due to being "single producer's fiefdom", report suggests

Maybe they shouldn’t be doing everything possible to drive off consumers. Exclusivity deals everywhere, prices that don’t like to dip, multiple versions of the same game so you need to pay more for the complete thing later. I tried to get into FF with 15, and I actually really liked it. Then all this nonsense happened with FF7R and I just gave up because it seemed like a pain to try and follow the series.

I’ve been using Godot for engineering simulations and I cannot recommend it enough for this one niche.

Rynelan,

Even though I would love to hear news about the new console… I’m fairly sure this will not be the moment

tiwenty,

I agree ^^

smeg,

& Knuckles?

caseyweederman,

Oh man, people are releasing physical copies of new games on retro consoles, right? Is anybody making a game that you can plug into the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge?

smeg,

I think the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge could be added to any game and it would generate a new level based on the content of it, but I’d love to see someone check!

HolyDuckTurtle, w Starfield getting DLSS support, FOV slider, HDR calibration, and more
@HolyDuckTurtle@kbin.social avatar

Very weird how those were absent from release, but I'm glad they're getting added. Good to see I'm not the only one who found the lack of an "eat" alt-option annoying as well!

dudewitbow,

HDR was the only option I was suprised to not see at launch. Its a space game, litterally one of HDRs biggest use cases.

HolyDuckTurtle, (edited )
@HolyDuckTurtle@kbin.social avatar

Yeah the base colour tones are absolutely nuts. I spent a lot of time on launch just trying to figure out if my HDR display was bugging out or something.

dudewitbow, (edited )

I had installed a seperate lut and used reshade injectes HSR effect to get a pseudo HDR experience.

I absolutely hated the fact that even on the intro screen on my Oled, the space background was not black. I was like what is this madness.

The irony of a bunch software devs about to sue the shit out of Unity to get EULAs invalidated.
