I think they keep it going, but at some point they're just going to remove day one sales because that makes no sense anymore.
So Maddie, to your point earlier, so you take a game like South of Midnight.
That's a game that was not exactly like critically acclaimed or anything, but like the people who really loved it, really loved it, really spoke to them.
And that's a game that costs $40 to buy, but on Game Pass you can get it for, what was it, $15 a month, $20 a month, whatever it was at the point that that game was released.
And so not only is that kind of this...
this put this load on it that it can't really support as being part of the subscription service trying to grow the subscription it also is being completely devalued to the point where people might be like why would i spend 40 on this when i could just get it on the game pass service for quote-unquote free or for my monthly subscription charge and that i think happened to a lot of games and there are a lot of people out there in studio leadership within xbox who
Absolutely detest Game Pass and think it has destroyed the value of their games, think it has taken away from the value of all games in general just as a service and just has contributed a lot of just, it's been a detriment to the games industry and those people's values.
because of how it devalues games.
And so Netflix, I think, is a little bit different just because the stuff that is getting put in Netflix cannot be bought separately.
You cannot go and buy Electric State or whatever.
And then there's a bigger argument that we won't get into about how Netflix devalues the movie theater experience in general.
right yeah you really want that collector's edition i'd have my the gray man steelbook you know up on the wall somewhere but but point being that like these xbox studios are expected to sell their games and not just be part of game pass so that that adds a whole new set of wonky math that i don't think ever really made sense to the equation but yeah so now we're seeing this new xbox that is putting aside all those games and it's just going to focus on these this bigger stuff
That's not to say they're not going to do new things.
I think they're still cultivating new IPs, but they're definitely making bigger projects.
And the thing I would be worried about is what if you're one of these studios that has not been hit by this layoff, has a game expected to come out within the next few months or next year or so, and then has no idea what's going to happen after that.
So if I was The Coalition and I had Gear Z Day coming up, I would be...
freaking out like are we gonna get shut down next after that game comes out that game suddenly is going to miss out on millions of copies because asha sharma and her team also decided to make it exclusive to xbox and not be on playstation and so what does that mean for us if i'm clock in exile and i'm making clockwork revolution that game is not going to be selling millions of copies especially since it was also made xbox exclusive
What does that mean for the studio if it isn't a huge hit?
Are we next?
Is NXL going to be on the list this time next year for that July culling?
