No, it works perfectly well with unlimited supply. It just means that the price - the point of maximum profitability - is almost entirely described by demand, since the unit cost of the product is...

This might be the first time I've seen a subscription come down in price. Now all they need to do is remove fortnite and lower it more, and I'd consider it again!

They certainly have, not to mention the console itself still costs $150 more than it did when it launched six years ago. With this whopping $7/mo "savings" on gamepass you just need to sub for 2...

Beginning this year, future Call of Duty titles won’t join Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass at launch. New Call of Duty games will be added to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass during the following holiday season (about a year later), while existing Call of Duty titles already in the library will continue to be available.
My Opinion
A price drop is appreciated, but my preferred method of using Ultimate was getting years of Xbox Live Gold and converting when it was still one to one. I don't think that I'd be going back anytime soon, but if there's something that I would want to try, it would be good to be able to test the water for a month without paying $30.
Thanks but no thanks, I will own my games. Drop the price today, lock people in, then hike prices.
If the game has DRM, I will pirate it out of spite.

It’s just supply and demand and price discovery. Prices will go down if demand goes down.
That theory only works if there is limited supply. A digital download has no such restriction.

knowing how these companies work, they will progressively make it crappier and then introduce a new premium tier that costs more than the original
They've already done that lol
