I could see them giving a bundling incentive where you get a discount if you have both a WoW subscription and a Game Pass. That would incentivize some who have one or the other to get both.
I suppose but no one is going to play WoW on a console if they are having to pay double the sub fee for a subpar product lol.
If they require gamepass for WOW I’m gone instantly.
Ah the typical misinformation thread; we haven’t seen a bit of these recently. Microsoft did NOT say ALL Blizzard games are coming to Game Pass, just that some are starting with Diablo IV.
Interesting, yeah we will see how this goes I guess

Heard somewhere Microsoft was considering dropping X-Box and consoles. Dunno if true.
I only keep one console and PC game for everything else.
They’re coming out with a more powerful version the Series X later this year. Wherever you heard that rumor is either lying or very misinformed.

I dont play consoles or even steam subscription games. So have absolutely no clue how it works.
For people that own an X Box, like me, Game Pass is a huge deal. There are hundreds of games that one can play for a monthly sub only slightly more than a WoW sub. In the 5 or so years I’ve had Game Pass I’ve only bought 2 games out of the 30 or 40 I’ve played.
It’s the same on PC. The PC only version is only $9.99 and has hundreds of games including all (?) EA, Microsoft, and Bethesda games plus a few from Epic, Ubisoft and numerous smaller/indie developers.

I’m pretty sure they’ll still do limited time exclusives so X Box and PC owners get 6 months to a year with a game before they port them to other consoles.

I’m all for killing the brand specific exclusive.
I love it when the forums tell me I’ve posted a lot and should let others post as if my posting is stopping someone else from posting.

I didn’t have to pay for the game or expansions with Game Pass which was cool but you still had to deal with the no subscription limitations of the game.
I was just thinking that, it sounds like they just act as another passthrough launcher with Gamepass similar to how if you own FF14 on Steam, you could just use the standalone client or Steam and its just another step to launch the game.
