      Noooope

      Everyone knew last year these acquisitions weren’t about making huge amounts of games, it was to kill off competition and monopolize game pass.

      The whole fucking point of the gamepass model is that you subscribe and provide them with a steady income stream between game releases. No big “boom” when a title drops, but also no “bust” when there are no releases.

      The fact that MS has blinked and isn’t going to stay the course means that gamepass is unsustainable at present, and they don’t have the spine to triple down until it is.

      I don’t want gamepass to succeed, but it’s a move thst only a company of MS’ size could even attempt. And it requires years and years of patience to pull off. But after the ActiBlizz buyout, investors lost patience and now the 10 year gamble is over.
