Yet another article trying to shill for Microsoft and game pass. Oh no. Jim said “all publishers.” If you don’t put it into context, then sure it sounds incorrect and you end up making trash articles over it. Whoops! Someone just did.
None of these publishers are offering their expensively made games to the service for nothing.
“Here Microsoft. Here’s our multi-million developed games to help you grow your numbers while we lose money. We’ll try to make it back up on views.”/S
Microsoft has to pay them to put their games there. Even old games that made their money twice over like GTA that released on 3 generations of hardware already. Where the parent publisher stated themselves that game pass is not good for them to launch day one on the service. Article writer never mentioned that but wants to mention GTA like it proves his case.
It’s like dating. Microsoft is that Ugly Clucker that has to pay someone to go out with them. Say nice things about them. The dates aren’t lining up for dinner and a movie with that ugly bitch(him or her). Microsoft is putting money in their pockets like an escort service. “They like me! They really really like me.” “Yes. We really like them.” As the check is being handed over. More /S
When Phil goes to Japan to secure games for Xbox and game pass, that’s paying for more dates. These ‘Japanese Women’ aren’t going out with Phil for free. They’re getting paid to do it. Those publishers aren’t lining up for regular release on a console that doesn’t sell games like with Nintendo and Sony. Phil’s paying for her time. Smiles. They don’t offer up their games on game pass hoping their games get noticed when Microsoft stated themselves that Game Pass CANNIBALIZES sales. No one else said it. They did. So why would they offer their games on game pass? Because it’s the only way to make guaranteed money on that console. Without it, they would lose money porting games to a loss leading device.
Put it into context dual shockers. The first is approaching the second. The second isn’t approaching the first. And smaller developers are just looking for a welfare handout because they are scared to work for it and if they truly believed in their product, they would try and sell it. Obviously these small developer’s think their games aren’t good enough to sell. So, they devalue them by just taking whatever they can get.
