“That’s hurting the industry whether you like it or not.”
-And yet 3rd party devs/publishers keep putting games on Gamepass, just look on July 14th Capcom is dropping Exoprimal on Gamepass while ps5 owners have to pay $60. Do you think they are just doing it because they like Xbox? No. They’ve already made sure that their deal on Gamepass will ensure the game is profitable.
OR should I really think that someone with your post history has sat down and run a financial analysis (without the projection data or deal details) and you know better than the smart people that keep Capcom profitable??????????? lol, Again, NO Gamepass ensures the devs get paid and consumers get a great deal. A win, win for everybody, in fact if anything its Microsoft on the losing end of the bill if their sub costs don’t grow enough to cover the check= are you really concerned about a trillion dollar company taking a little loss? Not me, thats for execs, I’m a gamer and no way is a consumer friendly sub service “hurting the industry” its changing the industry but until the sub service is too expensive for those paying for it vs just outright buying individual games OR Microsoft pulls it because its too expensive, until then I will continue enjoying the savings.
Finally Gamepass gets credit where credit is due, you guys will hate it so much until Sony does it. Sega channel was a fledging service, early psnow was just for playing old games like a bigger Xbox backwards compatibility program. Again its Gamepass driving a huge new full subscription service model offering all its games to be played day 1 or you can just buy it. I know, you don’t really care, you just hate MS and Im not saying those services were bad but they aren’t comparable, thats why media aren’t talking about them being the same as Gamepass….so yes keep clapping.
