Gamers really don't understand how the videogame industry work

Sony Stans

 

[levitate]

Now we’ve moved the Goalposts to “system sellers”

Next we gone be talking about which games Winb83 is jealous of or not.

Sony stans

Uhh, it’s always been about sales.

Which is why MS is desperate to buy publishers that actually move units.

MLB is a clear outlier as most of it's money comes from PS and MLB actually distributes it on Gamepass getting their check directly from Microsoft with Sony getting royalties.

Your position on using MLB would make more sense if it was on PS Extra day 1.

Again, if MS is willing to cut the check cover a game's budget to put it on Gamepass, cool.

Don't know the angle you working on this.

There’s lots a scenarios were it makes sense to put a game on gamepass.

You goofys take the one scenario where it doesn’t make sense and try to apply that to the entire thing.

Then you play dumb on the other side of it like you have no clue what’s going on.

No one is doing all that.

All cats are sayin is that you don't put a major title on a sub service day 1 unless it makes sense.

You arguing with yourselves cause nobody claimed games like GTA should/would/could come to gamepass day one.

Xbox Stan’s feeling hurt today

 

[MeachTheMonster]

I’ll believe Phil Spencer over his stans. Yall seem to be at odds with one another these days

Xbox Game Pass growth is ‘slowing down’ on console, claims Phil Spencer | VGC

Xbox Game Pass growth on console is “slowing down,” according to Xbox boss Phil Spencer.

www.videogameschronicle.com

Its very clear as to why they aren’t sharing numbers, because we all know they would if it was significant growth. But seeing as how everything else is significantly down i very much doubt that. We all know Growth is code for “not losing subs”

Sony stans make up their own word definitions

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

Following up on that, Microsoft released a statement that doesnt deny all these reports either

Xbox Confirms That Game Pass Leads To ‘Decline’ In Sales

According to data from the UK’s CMA, Microsoft's popular subscription service may hurt software sales

Xbox Game Pass offers gamers and game creators more choice and opportunity in how they discover, experience, and deliver games. For gamers, that means providing another option for them to discover games and play with friends at a great value. For developers, that means creating another option for how they monetize their games.

We're focused on helping game creators of all sizes maximize the total financial value they receive through Game Pass. Each game is unique, so we work closely with creators to build a custom program to reflect what they need, ensure they are compensated financially for their participation in the service, and allow room for creativity and innovation. As a result, the number of developers interested in working with Game Pass continues to grow.

All this info is a result of the AB merger. Microsoft can't use words to try to spin stuff when real legal stuff is involved

@ trying to "Sony Stans" y'alls way out of the obvious.

“base game sales” ≠ Profitability of a game.

This out of context half redacted statement really tells us nothing.

But some of you will try to hold on to it to spin a narrative when we have dozens of direct statemnts from developers with their games on gamepass who say it’s been great for them.

How can anyone stan a company this hard that hasn't done diddly poo since the 360. Like others have said indies being on Gamepass makes sense. Putting AAA games that are made with a budget of 100 million or more is very stupid. Take for instance God of War Ragnarok sold 5.1 copies it's first week. That's 350 million dollars right there.

Nah, you just dont understand. These indie devs with 10 man teams have better business acumen than these AAA billionaire companies with a 1k+ staff. Therefore what works for the indie company will work for the AAA too. PhilDaGawd would never misled the fans.
