>EA is a $50 Billion Gaming Giant but is not Sony, Samsung, Nintendo, Apple, Epic, Amazon or Microsoft, so... that's just the way it is. I sure wish I could just "settle" at being a billion dollar company. Plenty to make games and pay others to make games. >which is what Game Pass is now. I really don't understand the business pressure here either. Games have an established premium model as pretty much the only medium where people will pay for art a la carte. Then they see how profitable the streaming wars are (and yes, Netflix is "profitable", but not for the right reasons), and they think "yes, let's do that to us as well!" We already have a f2p market and model for those who don't pay for games too. A games subscription service is simply suicide.
