Microsoft don't need to make Call of Duty an exclusive. They only need to put new CoD games on Gamepass and Sony are screwed. It'll make Sony's platform look much more expensive.
- LegitShady 3y agoI hear what you're saying but also understand that putting games on gamepass costs money to microsoft in lost sales. It's like Disney - if all their movies go directly to disney+ they're training customers to not spend $60-80 on buying new games and instead wait for them to come to the cheaper monthly subscription. That isn't free - they still have to develop the game, and the return on the game is lower.
- Etherlord87 3y agoYou could argue similarly for dumping, and yet it is regulated. Companies shouldn't be allowed to invest in eliminating competition.
- LegitShady 3y agoYou can't pretend moving to a monthly recurring revenue model thats still profitable is dumping, at least not honestly. My point was that just releasing everything day one on xbox live cannot be a long term sustainable strategy as you're only making $15/month or whatever from that user, but it isn't dumping.
- Etherlord87 3y agoI never said it is dumping, I made an analogy to dumping. Dumping is not a long term sustainable strategy either, and yet governments decided to make it illegal (well some forms of dumping at least).
