Also, tweet aside for everyone. Can we just stop for a second and look back at HiFiRush...
Be honest with yourselves, if the game would not have been om GamePass; would you have bought it?
I would not... and I frankly do not know anyone who would have. This game was a nice surprise for a GamePass exclusive at the time; but frankly; it would have probably sold very poorly (and the sales on the Play Station Five probably confirmed that which helped Xbox to make the decision).
I'm not saying the game is not good or anything, but it is definitely not a big seller and if anything GamePass gave them the chance to get some visiblity before the real test on PLay Station which probably did not do very well.
I don't know, that's my two cents, and really based on some assumptions, nothing really to back it up; but that's how I feel about it.
