Join the Professors for Course #2: GamePass, Play, or Pay?

Join the Professors as Plague and Heru dive deep into Microsoft’s big Game Pass shake-up, unpacking Essential, Premium, and Ultimate tiers, day-one exclusives, price spikes, and subscriber backlash. Next, we switch gears to the wider gaming economy, from digital-first strategies and Costco’s console pullback to FTC commentary on consolidation, Xbox partnerships, and potential future direction. Finally, it’s time for Gym Class, where India’s new Online Gaming Act meets League of Legends Worlds 2025, betting sponsorship news, and the evolving eSports landscape. For those eagerly awaiting the news of Heru’s favorite browser, you are in for a treat this week!

Heru and Plague would love your feedback! Let us know what we can improve on and other topics you’d like to hear us discuss by reaching out to feedback@thegameprofessors.com. Come in and grab a seat as we profess our love and hate for all things video games!
