    Fully paid? Can you have GamePass that is only half paid? Maybe thats 34m without free trial users? I thought free trial users wouldn’t ever appear in metrics like this anyway.

      They occasionally do “get your first month for $1” promotions too. Might have said it that way to clarify not using those numbers too

      Being in business where I’ve had to make metrics like this, yee, companies will frequently “forget” to leave things like that out. That’s part of the reason daily users was replaced with daily active users.
