Why is everyone saying that they have to pay $60, when both the campaign and multiplayer will be on game pass day 1. It is costing Microsoft millions to have it on a free to play live service. Only way they can even get back some of the costs is to release it near Christmas Holiday, not Spring or Summer when everyone has spent all their money. I for one agree with 343, release now when the hype is high and deal with everything else later. Destiny does it every time or better yet go spend your $60 on a Battlefield 2042 game, with just 3 multiplayer maps. Over 90% on the halo universe with play Halo Infinite day 1, don’t you worry 343 industries, you stay on target.
Game Pass should never be an excuse for this. I am pro-launch however it is unacceptable that this situation has occurred.
Because not everyone wants to waste money on game pass and many of us want to keep the game forever without it being unusable in the future. Paying for Xbox Live is bad enough and not everyone wants to pay double for something that not everyone wants. Umm your seriously recommending Destiny…no thanks I’ve learnt enough not to trust Bungie after what they did with Destiny and I’m not at all pleased with EA abandoning campaign fans in 2042. Bad enough that game pass get’s spammed a lot and I’ll keep saying no to it. It was bad enough when Microsoft was charging for F2P games while trying to double the price of Xbox Live.
Bad take, bro.
Gamepass should NOT be a cop out for a campaign mode that (according to insiders) is already going to be pretty short for a Halo game and is missing co-op day one.
Gamepass or not they’re still charging $60 for it. Sony charges $60 for singleplayer experiences that are around 20 hours long; why is Xbox charging $60 for their flagship title that’s not content complete and is probably only going to be 6-7 hours long?
gamepass isn’t really “free” and you don’t own the game either, its up right as your subscription is up, gamepass is great for its price though.
While I’m semi pro game pass and pro launch; Gamepass should not be a crutch for unfinished content. Many of us understand why, and accept it. Doesn’t mean we are okay with it. It’s a title that will cost people 60$ of they aren’t on Gamepass, and this will stop many sales out the gate.
There are some that would pull preorders if they could. No matter how you look at it friend it’s just not a good business model.
It’s also not free. To denote it was free would make the game 100% free to purchase (0.00$) at discount via Gamepass features. Everything is pay to play technically. Even multiplayer if you want armor and color.
Yoink gamepass, make Halo complete
