Yeah, keeping the service on the rails will be the hardest part. Unlike re-releases or sales, how do you stir up interest in your 3-year-old Game Pass game? Once you go Game Pass, you never go back.I don't think it will necessarily be finances that cause problems. MS' reserves are absurd. I think it will be personnel. Whatever one's opinion of Spencer, I do honestly believe he wants to make Gamepass the most attractive platform with the best games. What will be difficult is when MS wins back market share and he moves on. Under the wrong management, a service like Gamepass really could serve up crap.
And yes, fully agree on their wanting to put it on as many devices as possible. Wouldn't bet against gamepass ending up on the Switch in some capacity.
Nintendo should go all the way and let Microsoft handle Switch's online infrastructure but that's another conversation for another day.
