There's no way that Game Pass sustains the cost of all Microsoft 1st party output and the opportunity cost of selling them at RRP.
If I subbed to GP for two months and played Oblivion, Doom and Claire Obscur, that's no way preferable to MS over a 30% cut on Clair Obscur and $70 for the other two.
Clearly, Sony has the games so Microsoft's USP was being a cheaper alternative so were subsiding GP as a way to get people into their ecosystem.
It clearly didn't work and I can't see day one releases on the new Xbox, if there is one.
Best it didn't either, if subscription services took off we'd be getting worse games.
Also, as clearly shown by recent events, Microsoft aren't the gamer's best friends. They'd no doubt revived the Mattrick energy when they got back on top.
Shame they're so bad at this because this industry really would be better off with competition.
