I don't see how that would apply in this situation. Perhaps it boosts sales AFTER it appears on Gamepass but I can't see any reason why it would have a positive effect if that information leaks long before it actually hits the service. There is no way this can be anything but a negative to sales during that gap. Regardless, Spencer revealing this ahead of time was a blunder, which I'm going to assume was an honest mistake. You don't reveal stuff like that without the developer's permission. He might have literally just taken money from their pockets. |
Maybe. And in my case it definitely would have stopped me from buying Control. Still, many people love to own things. Netflix (and Now Disney+) get content so fast but there's always people who ignore that and still buy Avengers Endgame or The Last Jedi. I usually only play games I'm curious about on Gamepass. If it's something I want to own, I buy it. I've even pirated movies only to turn right around and buy them because they were so good.
