so i just heard that some of the people in charge at xbox aren't super into game pass anymore, and i'm kinda surprised. i mean, it used to be this amazing deal that everyone loved, but then they raised the price and changed some stuff around, and now it's just not as great. apparently, some of the xbox leaders think it's actually hurting the gaming industry, which is pretty wild.
i guess the problem is that game pass makes it seem like games aren't worth paying for, you know? if people can just play them for "free" as part of a subscription, then they start to think that the games themselves aren't valuable. and that's a pretty big issue for the people who make the games, because they want their work to be appreciated and paid for. it's like, if you're putting your heart and soul into creating something, you want people to recognize that it's worth something, right?
there are some quotes from people who used to work at xbox studios, and they're saying that game pass has devalued their games and made it harder for them to make a profit. one of them said it's like a "race to zero", where games are just expected to be free or super cheap, and that's not sustainable for the developers. and it's not just the developers who are affected - the whole gaming industry is changing because of game pass and other subscription services.
