1)Almost no Gamepass game is the reason for what people get Gamepass for. The whole library is the reason. 2)Then you say you can't imagine people to get Gamepass for it but in the second sentence you say you want smaller games. I doubt they push Gamepass lol. And why should GTA be so much more expensive for MS if it won't be played by more people as other games which costs the same? MS doesn't pay 10x as much if they don't expect the effect to be also bigger for Gamepass. My theory is that MS doesn't expect many to get Gamepass for GTA but they expect many not to leave Gamepass when they have a game like GTA because when they start it, they will put a lot of time into it. So it's more of a "to hold Gamepass subscribers" move which also gives MS more money to invest in other games to get to the service. You don't only need new subscribers, you also need to hold your actual subscribers and for them, games which take a lot of time are very good. So yes, that system is also made to let people invest more as just to buy that stupid game^^ |
1) Why would you say that? People get the Ubisoft subcription to play Shadows for a month or other ubisoft games in the past when they released.
Similar on gamepass. It is not rare at all to see people go 'I spend 17 bucks on gamepass for a month so I don't need to pay 79.99 to play Starfield or Call of Duty or The next Doom etc when it releases.
2) Because I can't imagine someone going to be 'hmm should I spend 17 bucks to play GTA or should I spend 9.99$ to own the game hmmm thats difficult' similar I can't imagine a sitatuion as 'Oh I am tired of gamepass and don't want to be subscribed anymore but because they add GTA I stay on it'.
I can't imagine it being cheap to put GTA and see that kind of money goes to smaller projects or other third party stuff like ports of games that are not on xbox, this is exactly what made early gamepass great, you could see money invested in porting of games like the Yakuza franchise, Persona and so many others.
