Comment on Avowed's release delayed into 2025 to dodge "a busy season" on Game Pass, claims report

Microsoft delays Obsidian’s game. Not because the game won’t be finished in time or to avoid crunch but because they don’t want to add too many games to their “Game Pass” around the same period of time… 🤦🏻♂️
“Game Pass”? More like “Game Block”!
Keep in mind this is the same Game Pass they have just increased prices for and playing games since day 1 will cost you $20/month. A move that FTC deemed ‘product degradation’ (which is just a polite term for ‘enshittification’) and ‘inconsistent with Microsoft’s arguments during last year’s trial’.
Fuck Microsoft.
