There is a significant number of GP subscribers that don’t pay nearly that much, if anything at all.

I passively accumulate enough MS Rewards points each year to not have to pay for GPU just by using Bing for search.

I like that you said "significant number" and your example was one person, you.

Right but even if you half the number it's still only on par with last generation with significantly more room to grow and predictable income.

Isn't gamepass subscribers count already stagnated? It was 25m in January 2022, https://www.statista.com/statistics/1276183/xbox-game-pass-subscriber-count-global/.
