Don't forget how much we pay for DLC. Those Blackcell Battle Passes and Beavis & Butthead skins aren't included with GamePass.

Picking up and moving as-is to cloud will cost more. Going to Azure PAAS won't save you any appreciable money because whatever opex you save will be eaten by licensing.

Switching your workload to infrastructure as code and going all in on CI/CD and serverless will, if you're any decent sized shop, save you an absolute shit-ton of money. You can reduce headcount and reduce capex and opex by orders of magnitude while delivering much more stable and reliable products to your customers.
