companies like Microsoft making "big bets on the metaverse" feels like reaching the end of something as a society

i really think this is entirely nonsense, they're buying game pass into the netflix of gaming, they won't actually do anything other than get day-1-on-pass and some exclusives out of this.

I think we're getting to the point where gamepass is going to pivot to getting worse

remember when netflix was 8 dollars and had marvel movies? now it's $20 and mostly true crime podcasts with pictures

yeah, i am enjoying it a lot, but very much already expecting that turn

i don't know what a metaverse is, and i don't think satya or mark do either, but they definitely know what an in-app purchase is

and they *definitively* know what recurring subscription revenue is. kind of gives me hope for game pass continuing to be great actually, because o365 is the microsoft crown jewels and remains extremely competitively priced at every tier.

game pass might stick better than netflix really, because in addition to the bigger games i am making my way through i'd also have to buy slay the spire somewhere else to take a month off, which means it'd have to be a couple of months off to even break even.
