Pyro as Bill said:

Anyone who thinks MS needs to put Bethesda games on PS5 to make back the money on their investment hasn't run the numbers imo.

~10m GP subscribers is enough to deliver a AAA game per month and break even.

~60m GP subscribers is enough to buy a Zenimax every year

Game pass will be bleeding for while, though. Giving away more and more games for a 15$ monthly fee is going to need a huge subscriber base to become profitable, especially when people are going to hop in and out to just snatch specific games here and there.

The idea is that people buying on Windows, Steam and Xbox console make up the short term cash flow, picking up the slack as Game Pass grows.
