Lowering the Cost of Xbox Game Pass, Metro 2039 Announcement Soon # 489

In a surprise announcement from Deep Silver and 4A Games, Metro 2039 will soon be announced on Thursday as part of an Xbox First Look at 1 pm ET. Are Sean and Marc excited about a new game in the series after an earlier game was canceled? Also, Asha Sharma has hit on a hot button topic not only for Sean, but for many gamers, that Xbox Game Pass is too expensive and it has led to speculation that one of the ways to combat this would be to remove Call of Duty as a Day 1 game, but whether this happens or not, other measures must be taken if they want to lower the cost for Microsoft internally and thus be able to lower the cost for gamers as well. Sean and Marc discuss some strategies Asha and Co could implement to make this a reality. Plus, Sean's been playing another indie RPG in Dosa Divas, the last title from Outerloop games, and the mash-up of music game and beat-em-up in Dead as Disco, Marc has some ranting and raving to do about Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, Epic and Disney are making an Extraction Shooter, Amazon Luna is removing purchased games, Xbox finally gets an achievements overhaul, Marathon costs a lot of money, there's finally been movement on a Metal Gear Solid movie and more!
