Are talking about full price sales?

'dat tweet says gamepass players, not sales.

I think it's clear that GP does a lot more for some devs and pubs than some people may think. For awhile people thought they were just losing money, or not receiving what they deserve as a result of being on GP. I never understood that perspective, and never agreed with it honestly. How much they're earning is up in the air, but, in some situations they could certainly be earning more from GP than they would not being on GP.

Mark my words. This is going to go just like mobile. At first the minnows do well, but once the big fish arrive and start to dominate mindshare and attention... they die off fast.

Not really there won't be enough new big games to push the little guy out even with 23 studios that is 4-5 titles a year for Microsoft.

For the little guy the exposure is invaluable. It is free advertising and getting people to try your product. Gamespass i can imagine can be life changing to these little developers. Like ps plus was for rocket league and fall guys.

I remember playing Decent way back before mouse look was a thing. Keyboard only. Not enough fingers on the keyboard for 6 axis of rotation including weapons. But I still managed to enjoy it.

No. I think some devs make more from whatever it MS gives them (per download? Player volume?) whatever than they would from physicals. I'd love imagine most devs are salary, so millions of physical copies sold would likely be a bonus at best.

They get a flat fee not per play or download like the music industry one of the big differences between gamepass and spotify model that favors the big names.
