Gamers really don't understand how the videogame industry work

[The Mad Titan]

Interesting take. Makes you wonder what and who is gamepass bad for? Devs like it, gamers like it but for some reason it's going to run the industry and change how ganes are made. As if that isn't the natural order of things and it's not going to happen anyway.

I don’t even know who that is.

If your development studio is unknown, of course you’d beg to get on Gamepass.

Doesn’t really matter what a handful of indie devs say. The proof is already posted

Activision themselves said they wouldn’t put their games on gamepass, which is why microsoft are trying to buy them

Activision Has 'Concerns' About Xbox Game Pass And PS Plus, Explains Microsoft

But it won't matter if the acquisition goes through

www.purexbox.com

Activision is concerned that participation in subscription services could impact its [REDACTED] and would lead to brand dilution and cannibalisation of buy-to-play sales (especially of new releases)."
"Historically, a very limited number of Activision titles have featured on PlayStation Plus, but these titles have always been older releases that have been provided to PlayStation Plus many years after their initial release via buy-to-play, and are only made available for a limited time. Activision has never published any newer content on multigame subscription services and has no intention to do so in the future."

Microsoft's admission is intended to show that the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which would result in ActiBlizz games being made available on Xbox Game Pass, "can not make competitive conditions worse" in the industry:

"Without the Merger, Activision content would not be available on multigame subscription services. The Merger can therefore not make competitive conditions worse, under any circumstances."

The document, which is aimed at the UK's Competitive Markets Authority, goes on to argue that Sony has a "range of options to maintain or improve the competitive position of PlayStation Plus" in response to Call of Duty potentially joining Xbox Game Pass (if the merger goes through), including the ability to integrate "additional first and third-party releases in PlayStation Plus on the 'day and date' release".

Microsoft themselves (and the company they are trying to buy for 70 billion dollars) admit that gamepass doesn’t work and mad tittys is still here trying to argue the opposite

Nah. I’ve enjoyed indie games on PS.

Just saying of course an indie studio would take a couple million $ from MS and get on GP. Helps with their exposure.

But, big budget games moves consoles and services, not indies.

No one’s saying “Damn that new Pencil Sharpener Simulator just dropped on GP…let me go run out and cop a Series X”.

You and Mid Titan:

That’s actually y’all.

Pretty much any and everybody involved with Gamepass has called it a success, and a good move for their situation.

yet we constantly get posts and threads from you goofys trying to prove otherwise.

That’s exactly what the dev is saying in the op.

Really, are yall retarded?
