That statment doesn't line up with all the reports that have come out. Like what the Somerville developer said: Source According to Jim Ryan, who hindsight has been proved utterly correct on this situation, he said that many publishers said it was value distructive: Source Game Pass even hurts studios not on the service, as we saw just today: Source Game Pass, like spotify can never turn a profit because of the costs involved. |
It does though. Most studios using Game Pass are satisfied with the service. I can easily post link after link of devs satisfied. I'm not going to say Game Pass doesn't have its faults because it does, but don't pretend like everyone is dissatisfied just because a handful of devs have voiced their concerns.
Spotify and Game Pass do not operate the same way. Spotify has to compensate each individual artist, and there are thousands of people who put there content on spotify. Game Pass is much more limited in content. MS has stated they spend 1 billion a year on Game Pass and the service is profitable. Not saying it's pulling in huge profits, but it's still profitable.
