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. |
First link: it doesn’t say the dev isn’t happy with GamePass. In fact it says he thinks they got a good deal. Obviously the sales will be affected, that’s why they make a deal with MS.
Second link is Jim Ryan trying to stop the ABK deal. That link also points out that all of the recently announced GamePass games were from creators who previously released games on GamePass. So they’re supposedly unhappy with GamePass but go back for more? Huh.
Third link isn’t a game being hurt by GamePass, it’s a dude marketing his game.
MS has said repeatedly that GamePass turns a profit. I’m assuming you have some numbers that suggest otherwise? And no, speculation from Jim Ryan doesn’t count.
