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

Game Pass has also made playing games with my partner easier and cheaper. Now the cost of a game isn't factored in as much if we want to try out a multilayer game.

I feel Sony's take on Game Pass is similar to how Blockbuster saw Netflix in the early days.

yeah, that's true actually. me and mine both have the full 3 years bought out with the gold conversion, same with a few friends - it's really nice when a new multiplayer or co-op game hits, and we all know we just have it unlocked immediately, no worrying about who's in a place where they can actually spend 90CAD (or whatever new games are up to now) at the drop of a hat on it
