Yeah we know gamepass does that. I'm asking about Ubisoft/EA by themselves.

The Plug

They do, that's the point of the second sentence.
They do, they literally type and show it on the front page lol. You can play Far Cry 6 & Valhalla day one with Ubisoft+.

Just because a bunch of smart people believe something can work doesn't mean it will. Netflix has been at for much longer than Microsoft and they haven't turned a profit.

Ok, I’m wrong but is there a game on that list that doesn’t have a built in store front?
Far Cry 6 Microtransactions Revealed - ISK Mogul Adventures
I’ve yet to see a system where this works for games that aren’t GAAS oriented
They believe it so much none of them is doing it apart from the only company that has the money to do it. Some belief huh
If it’s so good, all of them should be right now involved in it, yet they’re all still using the old method of selling games for 70 dollars. Now why’s that?
As for subscription services, subscribing to a movie or a music subscription where you just absorb the entertainment and it’s over in in an hour is very different from a game subscription. Vast majority of people play less that 10 games a year. Subscription therefore is simply not financially worth it.
Even the “phenomenally successful and lucrative” gamepass has most people using discounts to subscribe and then cancelling when their time is up.

Yea, the EA Pro isn't cheap. Xbox, Ubisoft & EA all have a $15 subscription for the best service each.100 bucks for a year.

The proof is in the pudding. Like i said earlier gamepass is offered to over 200m people capable of using it, 20m people use it, not even half the console adopters have it.
They brag about 10 million people playing forza, that means only half the amount of people that get it for free are even interested in trying it, and out of that 10 million probably only a fraction are still actively playing it today.
There’s gonna be a clear ceiling for a service like this in gaming and its no where near music or video streaming
Also for all the “single player one and dun” comments, the vast majority of people playing these service oriented games probably aren’t even playing them longer than a single player rockstar, ubi, or sony game.
Be wrong as fukk Sony stan brehs
You legit have a mental illness, this shyt ain't cute...I'll handle all the speculation so nobody else has too
You can't compete with gamepass. You either offer the same experience (with minor differences) or you fall short.
Now 99% of all games are MULTIPLAT so duplicating what gamepass does isn't impossible. 1st party games are better on Xbox this gen so far and Sony seems to be content with giving you more of the same imo. TBC on which is better but 2021 was year of Xbox
Now looking at this tweet, it's very vague, doesn't say what's included with each tier but they letting y'all know they wanna include access to PS1,2,psp games as a possiblefeature except that's a HORRIBLE idea. Everything that was exclusive back then been MULTIPLAT.
That would be like Microsoft going "Get the 3rd tier of gamepass so you can play Xbox originals"
The truth is that 3rd tier will have 1st party day 1 PS5 games, they'll have all the older games too thanks to Microsoft azure. The service will not be as cheap as gamepass because they can't afford to do that, they not future proof(where did I hear that before???)
Sony stans will say it's worth it, I'll admit it's better than nothing. Starfield drops 11/11/22...
Please stop with the misinformation. Last year Netflix generated about $2.7 billion in net income (profit). Look it up its on Yahoo Finance and Netflix investor relation page.

so less than Sony’s gaming division, which generated over 3b. Who’s to say they stand to generate more revenue putting their games out day 1 for free?
where’s the proof of concept?
Netflix is the gold standard y’all keep referring back to, they have over 200m subscribers and don’t generate more revenue or profit than PlayStation. Lol
are you going to answer my question as if it’s so successful like so many smart people think it is, why isn’t the industry flooded with gamepass clones? Or just ignore it like you do whenever you get called out?
It’s a simple question. If so many smart and successful people think gamepass subscription is the future why isn’t the industry flooded with them? Why are over 95% of the publishers in the industry still selling their games for 70 dollars like they have been doing for the last 40yrs?
Gross profit was closer to $10 billion.
