They were doing well with game pass, but then they started throwing day one releases on there, and of course people stopped buying those games. Then they doubled the price of game pass trying to recoup money and lost a bunch of subscribers. Just incredible brain genius moves.

They did that in part because they had bought a dozen studios to make gamepass content and all of them immediately stopped releasing games. All of it was handled extremely poorly at every step.
