At this point, with all the charts and videos dedicated trying to explain what Game Pass is and deals exist, I really think a DLC approach would have been better. Like with pizza, you would have your Game Pass + any number of DLCs to enable additional features. So everyone could have their own Game Pass setup and pay only what they are interested into. In example:
$10 Game Pass Base
+ $8 Day One First Party
(exclusives for a month, and added to Base after a year)
+ $8 Premium Streaming
(shortest wait times, highest quality)
+ $5 Additional Library
(EA Play & Ubisoft+ Classics)
+ $4 Loyalty Benefits
(Rewards program, game specific benefits, icons, walllpapers, soundtracks, stickers etc)
Note: Online Console Play is always included.
I just made up price numbers, so don't quote me on that as being bad or so. At least from marketing standpoint it would be easier to market, and nobody pays extra for stuff they won't use such as some vbucks for free to play games.
I think the biggest problem with thos approach is custo.ers could potentially pay less to get what they want, and thats taking profits away from the company. Why would they want that?
For a second I thought you meant bundling pizza with the deal. Which I think would work well. Imagine getting one free dominoes pizza a week with game pass ultimate++. Haha
Please eat verification slice
The pizza could depend on the Game Pass menu you are subscribed to. :D
