Big budget games have been few and far between for the last couple of years. I would imagine that MS has plans to ramp this up given the recent developer studio purchases. Once that starts to ramp up and Xbox starts to develop games on the same level of Sony it would be interesting to see how they balance that out. If the payoff is as obvious as some are making it out to be why are others not following?

Edit: Also the question of sustainability is not akin to 'burning cash'

What?.. Ok first of all the games they will release on Gamepass clearly do well and sell well on Steam and console too. They also dont have to pay anyone any royalties for their own "Big" games when they put them on the service. If by the time every Xbone owner and XBSX owners just switched to Gamepass or Gamepass Ultimate for their games this would be even more profitable for MS as look how many subs that is. Pretty much like smroadkill15 said to you, why even worry about this?.

Again its not a worry, its a response to a thread and an opinion on the long term sustainability on quality.

They have to pay the developer to make the game, there is a trade off when said game does not get direct compensation based on its quality. How do you not think of this?
