Keep in mind when she says that, that Microsoft is probably not looking to lower the price of GamePass, but to find other things to include in that price. I sincerely doubt they're going to lower the price and just leave the cash on the table - they're going to add something to the subscription to keep the people already paying $30/mo from dropping. To make it feel more worth their while.
Has there ever been a major subscription service that decreased in price for an equal service?
From just the headline, I would have thought it was too expensive for Microsoft, and the price would be raised. Someone seems to have a head that isn't firmly lodged in their asshole over there, tho.
