Interesting article. Honestly, it’s fascinating seeing these major industry players having to answer questions outside of the realm of their usual short PR bits
I think consumers love game pass, though. I know I sure do.
Me too. I think smaller devs love game pass. Or so I’ve read very often. I’m playing f.i.s.t. right now, a game I would have never tried if not for game pass, and it’s actually pretty fun. I’m now more interested in the developers future projects. The AAA devs might not like it, but they have been serving us a streaming pile of shit over and over again for a while now and just shrugging when gamers complain.
Game Pass has also made playing games with my partner easier and cheaper. Now the cost of a game isn’t factored in as much if we want to try out a multilayer game.
I feel Sony’s take on Game Pass is similar to how Blockbuster saw Netflix in the early days.
