I 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).
