- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from Microsoft is still available at $ 19.99 in Gamestop
- Gamestop averages to continue the final membership price of $ 19.99
- Multiple showcases also have the level of membership available for $ 19.99 per month
While Microsoft faces a violent reaction after the new standard price set for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, many have been quick to find solutions or alternatives to pay $ 29.99 per month, and fortunately, a family exchange store has reached the help of the players.
Announced in X, Gamestop promised to continue the sale of the final subscriptions of Xbox Game Pass for the previous price of $ 19.99 per month, both in the store through physical and online gift cards. This comes after it made numerous tweets to condemn the price increase, highlighting their position even more to ensure that players get the best offers.
It is a great gesture of the popular game and exchanges store, and I have no doubt that it will set up additional pressure on Microsoft to retreat their decision to increase prices, and it would not be the first time.
While it may seem that Gamestop is alone in this case, it is also available for $ 19.99 on Amazon (in the United Kingdom and USA.), Best Buy and Staples. It is not clear if prices remain unchanged in shop windows (apart from Gamestop), since they have not yet entered into force since Microsoft’s recent announcement, but it is safe to say that Gamestop’s position on the matter can boost others to do the same.
Anyway, now it is the perfect time to take advantage of the price of $ 19.99 per month while it still lasts; There is a good possibility that some retailers can adjust prices to conform to Microsoft’s new plan accordingly, and although I am sure that Microsoft will eventually return to your decision, it is better to be sure than cure.
ANALYSIS: I am tired of the excuses of the ‘market conditions’, because the games are gradually returning from their hobby nature
If there is something that tells me this current climate in the games, it is that the games are in danger of becoming a monopoly and the hobby of a rich person, with people like Xbox and Nintendo raising prices to ridiculous standards. Game Pass is just another example of recent price increases, and I don’t think it will stop soon.
Has also worsened when you realize that Nintendo is involved in trying a patent game mechanics, with demands presented in Palworld (Probably due to its main successes), where this mechanics should be considered simple so that any game developer uses it. I have always felt that patents in the games should not exist, but I am deviating.
I am concerned that if the issues continue along the path of games companies that constantly try to enforce unjustified price increases that are often blamed for ‘market conditions’, together with larger editors effectively intimidate the smallest studies so that they are submitted through unfair demands, then the games are in mass problems (if it is not yet anyway).
At least, outside the demands, players have a voice to help go back to such measures, and that is done by voting with our wallets, and it is great to see that the vast majority of us are on the same page with respect to Xbox Game Pass and its atrocious price.
