Gamepass inception.

Make it popular enough and every device on earth will need it. Like Netflix

Sony/Nintendo fans get to begging for Xbox games/Gamepass they will have no choice but to pick up the service.
I was just telling my girl the same thing. Sony might have to put gamepass on ps platform.

Redundancies happen in any buyout/merger. The true creatives behind the games people fell in love with aren't the ones getting laid off in that situation. They get courted heavily.



What happens later is that those same creatives get sick of the corporate bullsh*t merry-go-round where the suits start interfering in narrative decisions, creative decisions, insert-mtx-here-we-need-to-milk-them decisions...a mediocre game gets released, the public is like "WTF happened? Why's this so different from what they made before?", fingers get pointed...and those same creatives cash in their stock options and pull the ripcord like :hubie:. So now, 2-5 years later, you've paid billions for a now-creatively-defunct studio and are back at square one.

Yup which is exactly what Microsoft has historically done. That’s why even though this is huge, it ain’t a win until we start seeing it bare fruit. Sony has learned to leave its developers alone which has resulted in them having a solid stable of first-party properties. Microsoft on the other can’t stop interfering with developers, they change scope but not the budget or launch date, they change narrative, etc.
