Question. Did sony ever compare it to Gamepass?

I've seen a LOT of writers do that. Then they are complaining that it can't compare to game pass (due to not day one exclusives.)
Leaving my the question.. Did Sony ever mention game pass?

The writers hyped it up. Then the writers (and readers) get angry at it.

I don't know if Sony ever placed it that way, but... we live in a world with Gamepass existing, so obviously people will compare it. I think this could have a much different reception, if it was made before the existance of Gamepass.

Jim Ryan hinted at it back during the Bethesda acquisition.

When asked about a solution to gamepass...

“There is actually news to come, but just not today. We have PlayStation Now which is our subscription service, and that is available in a number of markets," said Jim Ryan.

He said there was news to come on it, and then directed people to PSNow.  He did not outright say it, but it is strongly implied.
