Podcast 598: Xbox CEO Asha Sharma just did the unthinkable: she admitted that Game Pass has become too expensive for the average player. In a leaked internal memo, the new leadership is signaling a massive shift in how Microsoft handles its subscription powerhouse, moving away from the "growth at all costs" model toward something more sustainable. But this isn't just about a price tweak. With reports swirling that Call of Duty could be pulled from day-one Game Pass this year, the very foundation of the service is being questioned. We break down the leaked memo, the "flexible system" Sharma is proposing, and why this honesty from the top is both a red flag and a relief.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.
