Reguardless of if its true or not, Remedy must be mad as hell.
This is gonna hurt its sales.

It's already been stated by analysts that Game Pass actually boosts hard sales, doesn't hurt them.

Is that why Gears 5 sales are like historically bad, compaired to the 3rd or 4th game?

Maybe it doesnt hurt that much like a year down the line, but day and date seem to have a negative effect.

(physical and digital sales tanked compaired to the last games, and Phil Spencer used jargon speak to count a digital download on gamepass as a "sale", to claim it sold better than the 4th)

Gamepass makes sense if a game is already selling badly (past its peak of sales) and has ingame micro transactions /dlc they can sell you.
Then getting it into more players hands even if free, can be lucrative.

However claiming it doesnt hurt sales is bullcrap.
