Support NeoGAF

[Donald mac Ronald]

What games you know form certain publishers or the kind of game you just know will end up on one of the services, probably not even long after release?

For me it seems every ubisoft game lands on plus and gp. Almost to the point of what's the point of even buying a ubisoft game? Me personally I don't buy their garbage. I do have plus but it's to complement my gaming purchases and only have it as it was on offer for extra.

Most games I download off said service, I probably wouldn't have bought, or something I have played before.

On the flip side you just know something from from software is never going to be on the service, as their games always sell.

EA, Ubisoft, Square, most of the big publishers' games end up on some service in the end, but these three are the most consistent I think

Sega will put Yakuza/Persona on Game Pass.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Square-Enid and Sega are the most prominent, but EA, Focus, Annapurna, etc. all are consistent participants.

 

[Humdinger]

Well, Microsoft of course. Then Ubisoft and EA.

 

[PurePlatinum]

Microsoft

 

[Magic Carpet]

Annapurna

edit-whatever happened to them anyway?

Unfortunately for Ubisoft it looks like the whole world is also waking up to this realisation.

EA’s service is included with GamePass Ultimate and Ubi+ is on PlayStation Plus Premium so those are usually on those services. Otherwise, Square-Enix and Sega pick and choose what they put on based on deals. It’ll be interesting to see what happens if Sega makes their own service.

They’re still publishing, seemingly doing well. Lately they’re responsible for Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and Cocoon, both excellent IMO. I’m not sure how well Stray did for their bottom line, but it gives off the impression of a healthy business.

Their market segment has slowed from where it was 5-6 years ago. The cost of SP games and the growing quality of indie titles now has them serve the neo-AA of the industry.

Last news I heard was the entire staff packed up and left.

Right, I do recall. I know it was announced after the publishing agreement with Remedy, but wasn't there conflict at the top over television production? The details evade me.
