Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

    I do like the gamepass model, but just like Netflix, it only works because it’s the most diverse, as soon as more publishers make their own it will suck again. No I will not pay 10x the price of a subscription for a new AAA game, indies are the only ones still having fair prices in Brazil.

      Even now Gamepass is only worth it for one or two months to play some indie games, maybe Yakuza if you’re into that. It just doesn’t make sense to have a long time subscription there like it used to be with Netflix a while ago. Most of the good stuff is older and most people already own that, I suppose.

        gamepass has decent value if you have a group of friends who like to jump around playing random coop titles, as you have a low risk value critea to try a game to see if youd like it as a group.

        I disagree since I love indies too, so it also saves me a lot of money that they have new ones every month, I can also try early access titles without getting scammed.

        Nah they had AAA titles from day one like starfield, total war Warhammer 3, wasteland 3, ect. Those make it worth it.

        As publishers roll out thier own crap the quality will drop but at the moment I’ve saved quite a bit of money keeping game pass.
