Game pass is a much better mouse trap, for sure. But, what makes you think that Sony won't try to improve their offering?
IMO, Gamepass is going to revolutionize the way that games are distributed, in the long run. So, I expect that everyone else is considering options to compete with it. I'd like to see an Amazon Channels-like setup: Subscribe to Gamepass for $10/ month, then have the option to add the Ubisoft Channel, EA Channel, Activision Channel, etc., for an additional fee. Those channels may have to sell subscriptions in 6 month increments or something, to ensure that people don't sign up for a $5, one month subscription, play the couple games they want, and unsubscribe. Or, maybe they will have a $5 per month subscription that includes old games, and a $15 per month one that gets new games at launch day. I dunno exactly how it would work. But, I can envision it happening, and I hope that it does.
EA has had success with their subscription service. MS seems to be having success with theirs. Sony.... their service isn't as good in many respects, and it is harder to tell if they consider it a success. But, the momentum appears to be carrying us towards more of this type of thing. Sony certainly is thinking about how to make it work for them.
