Because Ultimate includes Premium
What do you mean?

Ultimate is basically just a bundled subscription of all the Game Pass tiers plus some extras. So whatever is in the other tiers will be in Ultimate

Ultimate includes every other tier, so if a game is on Premium, it goes without saying that it will be on Ultimate. But if a game is on Ultimate, it won't necessarily be on Premium.

No questions and the disrespect shown during the fight (like stealing gourd) really do make for a rather frustrating fight. First form isn't too bad but second form you are put at a disadvantage plus the health bar takes much longer to come down.||

Many people who have a 360 have a newer console as well. There are games, lo and behold, from the 360 generation that you can't buy on XBox One/Series consoles, so people own the older console to play non-bc games.

Not being able to afford a new system isn't really even in the top 500 reasons for playing on 360. People who can't afford a new system have an XBox One, considering you can get one for like a hundred to two hundred bucks now.

Rockstar owns the game, not Microsoft. It costs Microsoft a lot of money to put games like GTA and RDR on Game Pass. That’s why it’s usually on 6 months. The game is constantly on sale. There’s plenty of chances to get it cheap, like right now. It’s currently on sale for $15.

10$ cheaper but on a different currency

Thing is, we have this mismatch right now between what customers can ever reasonably afford, and what the cost of labour that goes into a game is.
hardy basalt
10$ cheaper but on a different currency
It doesnt match
steady pilot
At 650 for a console now I’d rather pay 150 more and get a more powerful pc.
ivory yacht
10$ cheaper but on a different currency
exactly what i mean, coz AUS currency is around few dollars more than NZD
hardy basalt
exactly what i mean, coz AUS currency is around few dollars more than NZD
So it is 10 dollars already considering the currencies values?
What are the absolute values for new games in Australian and New Zealandish Dollars?
ivory yacht

hardy basalt
Like 70 dollars and 80 pounds
limpid flicker
