where did you get 3.25 billion? is that a years worth of subscription income? Does game pass blow up after that or something? Have subscriptions just stopped, 18 million and ..... no more growth.
- fartcannon 5y agoIf they keep buying stuff, they're not gonna make any money. It is thus a loss leader, as Phil indicated.
- skinnymuch 5y agoMicrosoft is buying stuff. Game Pass isn’t buying stuff. Microsoft makes plenty of money. Notice how any one can decide where to draw the line of what is what. Why do you keep bringing Phil up. A loss leader isn’t the same thing as a growing SaaS. You are putting words in his mouth while repeating Phil said this, said that.
- fartcannon 5y agoYes, Microsoft makes plenty of money, that's how they're able to run game pass as a loss leader. Literally the original point.
- skinnymuch 5y agoSo then game pass doesn’t lose billions. It makes billions since Microsoft does. Using your logic of assigning expenses and profit any where
- calsy 5y agoYou understand those things they are buying have value right? That they are not just throwing money into the void. Investing in future growth is what businesses does in a competitive environment. If they don't keep buying stuff their service will fail and they will lose everything they had invested to that point. Thats how you don't make money.
