Pricing seems to be a $15 a month subscription that combines Game Pass and Xbox Live - saving consumers roughly $5 a month. https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/5/18296816/microsoft-xbox-game-pass-ultimate-subscription-pricing-release-date-rumors
From Hypecaster: Off Topic Question: Xbox Live and Xbox GamePass are being merged ... $14.99 monthly....does the price eventually go up or down with time?
This is also expected to coincide with the much talked about discless Xbox One. (Will it be smaller?)

Easy mode: does it hurt a game to include it? - See Poll
Bad Bit: “Easy Mode” it the wrong term. I think making games more accessible In not just talking a physical manner like the Adaptive Controller. But, make it accessible via the software it’s self like Celeste, God of War, Horizon, Uncharted 4. Accessibility matters.
Robby Bobby Miller: Normal mode is how most games start. I tend to start at a higher difficulty because I want to feel like I paid to get my butt kicked.
SkinnyMattk: It doesn’t hurt to include it and it doesn’t hurt to not include it.
SecretFriendsU: Tomb raider even offered the ability to customize difficulty in different areas. So if you enjoy the puzzle solving and traversal,but not the combat, you can change it to make the experience far more fun.
Josh Bones: If Sekiro has an easy setting if would be more accessible to other gamers, like me. That equals more sales. A large part of the complaints come from the people who take it as a point of pride that they can beat these games and others can’t. Take that as you will.Plugs
