Interesting article. Honestly, it's fascinating seeing these major industry players having to answer questions outside of the realm of their usual short PR bits

I think consumers love game pass, though. I know I sure do.

yeah! I'm a huge fan too, I've been beating that drum since it first dropped. It's great for indies and day 1 AAA accessibility, honestly. I've played so many more new releases in the last few years than I had in the decade prior to that option, and I try way more indie games than I used to since they're (generally) shorter and there's so many available. It's been so good for exploring new titles and genres that I probably never would've if I actually had to buy those games outright before getting to try them.

Like, I just 100%'d Chorus before it left game pass the other day - I really loved it, decent writing, sympathetic main characters, and some of the best dogfighting/flying I've ever experienced in any space game. Now that's a game I'm going to be super interested in any DLC or sequel for, and it's something I would've only maybe (but probably not) tried years down the line when I could buy it cheap, if not for game pass.
