This is straight cap according to Phil Spencer, Gamepass is already profitable

He said it is “profitable for us”. Which is a very very weird way to say something is profitable. Not profitable for shareholders? Its marketing speak. Also, their profitability, can fluctuate, by the month. Jusy because it may have been profitable thenone month he said it, doesnt mean it is still profitable. They just bought Activision, for $69 billion dollars. They now have to support all of those studios. So whatever revenue they had coming in, that gamepass may have supported, just got offset by $69 billion, AND the costs to run the studios.
