Saw that article/post about the new Call of Duty coming to Game Pass, and my first thought is "wahoo" and "yippee". I couldn't afford an Xbox upfront, so that All Access payment plan was crucial for me getting the system, and Game Pass allowed me to have a bunch of games ready to go as soon as I got the console setup. I wouldn't have played all of Kingdom Hearts without the push of seeing them on Game Pass. I've finally played a Halo (gotta get back to that series) for the first time cause I grew up in a Nintendo/PlayStation/macOS household, so I just didn't have access to those games. I played several Yakuzas in a row cause they were all on there. Hell, I could stream Undertale with my goofy stream setup because it was on Game Pass! Honestly, the only way I'm playing new CoDs is if they come to Game Pass, cause I'm sure as shit not paying $60 for a game with a battlepass. I would be hard pressed to hate Game Pass.
But also, like... it feels unsustainable? How are they paying people? I imagine SEGA is getting some sorta lump-sum payment to get all those Yakuza games on there (and keep them there! I'm fucked if they ever leave lol). They can't possibly doing Spotify-style, counting-installs-and-plays payments for devs/pubs who put their games on there... right? It feels so close to Netflix and Hulu and Paramount+ and all those that I can't help but think it's gonna all come crashing down someday. I wonder who is making money here, if anyone even is, and how long until all the funding dries up and the service is discontinued.
Cause it's really a solid service and I want it to keep going as long as possible! I'm getting value here! Looking at some current "Recently added" games, I wouldn't play Little Kitty Big City, Another Crab's Treasure, Jedi Survivor (I know it's EA Play technically, but they're included in Game Pass, so it's effectively all the same to me), LEGO 2K Drive, or MLB The Show 24 without being part of the service. There are so many games here that are cool and interesting but I wouldn't drop New (or Used) money on when I could pay $17/mo to try instead.
