Interesting considering the subscription model is profitable in the music and tv industry. Please if you can explain the difference.

As far as gaming goes, many indie devs praise Game Pass. It’s easy access for many who wouldn’t buy the game unless it was on sale. Never mind launch. And GP users tell their non GP buddies and devs report more overall sales too. 

Aren't music artist constantly complayning that spotify and the like are not paying enough? 

Lol ya I guess they are. But they have concerts and ads, plenty ways to also make a buck. Game Pass at least at the moment, is extremely good for smaller developers. 

I believe the CEO of Double Fine said something along the lines of joining MS would be good because Psychonauts 2 can reach a wide audience day 1 on GP. It’s a niche game and even its prequel didn’t sell enough back in the day.
