The same logic caused a flood to mobile. How'd that work out for them?

Because they can still charge microtransactions and build their games around them the further gaming goes the service route

Yup.
For me, I'm fine. I skew to the big name games and then an assortment of indie style games I get for $15 or less. Some I even bought for like $3-5.
Mid-tier quality games I don't care about.
But for you gamers that like games such as...... Just Cause, Darksiders, The Hunt: Showdown, Red Faction, Homefront etc..... these are the kinds of games I see dinged the most.
Gamers will either wait for sub plans. And if they don't come and eventually cave in to buying it, it'll already be on some 67% off digital sale.

PSNow is something I would never pay for unless it was short term to play something I missed on PS3 but the streaming sensation sucks... I really hate it.
Anyway, all these services suck to me.

And games on Gamepass and PS Now also have microtrans. And most of the time, the DLC isn't part of the sub download.

You can buy physical. Every game on GamePass that has a physical release, still has a physical release after GamePass.
Artists are making more and more money through streaming and still make money off records. They make the most money from touring, as they always have. Television and movie studios make more money than ever selling rights to all of these streaming services. Plus they still make tons of money selling BR and DVD discs. Hell they mention the woman who created Scandal getting a $150,000,000 check from Netflix and say “the money doesn’t last forever!!” uh fucking what?
If a publisher gets a kings ransom for content and blows the money, that’s the fault of Gamepass? I mean, when you look at the money TV and movies make now thanks to streaming, this article doesn’t make any sense.

Facts are that artists make WAY less money now than years ago and have to tour almost annually to make the money that is expected.
We are not talking about millionaire artists here either... You want to offer less money to people who do highly skilled work and that barely earn a decent living in many cases.
So all that comparison you made is nonsense.
I cannot believe people would shill so hard for one of the most abusive and shityy corporations in the world, at the expense of the real people who sacrifice to make games for us.

If game developers “barely earn a decent living” from these publishers then why do we care that these publishers are supposedly upset about the potential of GamePass? Why aren’t you up in arms about devs not earning a decent living
I’m shilling for myself, a consumer.

That basically means they need to adjust the budget that goes to make the games.
Gamepass supports cheap game as service development but that I said in 2018 with the announce of services like Gamepass... the quality of games will drop.

Same as any Gamepass like service lol
You will have a small and low quality Spider-man title focused in game as service...
Dumb question.
The opposite.

look forward to hearing your response in a few years when sony copies ms's gamepass and shits out all their games on a service just like how ms has been doing.

Those people always existed, in the form of waiting to buy a game used.
PS Now is similar, except they cycle games more often... even first party games get removed

It is where gaming is going. At the end of the day, the good content will still come because these services will be competing with each other. I actually think game quality will only get better.

Facts. He says the profit margin would be built into the game, meaning more monetization, and less funding into projects

Why the personal insults guys. We all here to discuss the hobby we love. Lets just all get along ok.
As for this particular topic. I don't know really. I don't mind paying for games any price. As long as i am getting a great experience. Its all that matters to me and what should matter in the end.

I don’t get the logic that game design is going to suddenly get worse, either. The most similar market to GamePass is the video streaming market and that constantly produces some of the best stuff we can consume. It’s a common theory the haters throw out, that MS will just poop out games to fill GamePass but how exactly does that help them sell the service?
And how will it affect game design as a whole? Big publishers can just make their games as they always have. I mean, can game design and monetization really get any worse? There is a thread on page one right now about a remake of a three generation old game that is timed exclusive, so the publisher got a big check there. They’re maximizing returns on the project by splitting it up into multiple parts, there’s preorder DLC, and the thread is regarding how you can buy candy bars and upload receipts to unlock more DLC. But oh no, fucking GamePass is the problem

Why should I care what publishers think when studios are making a choice to put their games in game pass? Why should I care that an incredible deal for myself and other gamers scares them? They should be scared. Maybe that will spur them to do better or match it. We are still going to get big AAA games no matter what, and no amount of fear mongering about an incredible gaming service is going to change that.

On another note I've been more likely to purchase dlc/season pass because of game pass. I bought shadow of the tomb raider dlc (which is great) because I saved the money from buying a game I wanted anyway.

How is it a few don't see how subscription based content leads to even more garbage than what already exist? All of our favorite streaming services offer a majority shit-tier level of content with woefully few modest to great content. All this does is create an even bigger straight to video type racket for games.

the bussiness model good for consumer..they need to pay less to play game..but for developers is different..they need lot of money to make game
for smaller devs might be ok..but for triple A game it would be different...game nowdays cost very high with years of development period..they surely want recover back their initial budget
After all its up for money resource to determine the scale and quality of the game..to do all this need technology,manpower and time which is fall to money resources
there concern that devs might end up get low pay another concern of developers need to put microtransaction to cover the cost and there concern it might affected game quality infuture due to lower budget...thats developers site
on consumer site there concern of you dont own the game, what happened when service shutdown blahblahblah..
talk about netflix, thats probably why ms goes acquire studio..not just because to compete with sony but also for their first party content, like how netflix does where they no need to depend on third party content, incase those company decided to pull out their game. But i heard company like netflix spend tons of money to make quality content though..not sure how it would cope up the budget...for film and music, they still had different platform like cinema and concert. I am not suprise if they increase the price or do whatever need to makesure money keep flowing in future. Basically, enjoy what we have today while it still 'cheap'.
but i believe this model wont replace what we use todays...this just add additional option to the existing model and this things still new...here lot of things need to be ironed out.

Yeah... I don't see it as much as some others do. Who cares when they've gotten their money? The subscriptions turn into large sums of money toward the developers.Keep fighting the good fight
PS Now is sort of their competition. PS4 and PS2 games are downloadable (PS4 only). In fact, one could argue that it has better content, but it's more expensive.

Yep, Game Pass is basically the Coronavirus, terrorism, and the death of the West all wrapped up in one, innit /s
Non-Nintendo AAA games are overrated anyway. 60 euros/pounds/bucks for fancy graphics and button mashing? You could buy 10 Blu-rays for that price, and a few beers too.
Anyway, AAA games always make profit, that's why they are AAA.
AA games, Gaf is saying, will suffer most. But they will probably be supported by the players or abandoned for sucking.
Game Pass is a great demo service, which prompts players to purchase the full game for the best experience. It will fuel the industry and cut down on the chaff.
How it works with me is, Snake Pass is leaving this week, and I beat 1 or 2 levels, but the game isn't that great (the player's fault for not understanding the genius controls) so it won't be getting any more of my money. But Mad Max left a while ago and that was awesome, but I didn't beat it, so will probably get it at a later date.
Game Pass is win-win for players and devs, it legitimizes DLC, and will DESTROY Sony in the next gen, basically.

But Sony already got DESTROYED on Ps2 gen, because MS has infinite money.....
Then she got DESTROYED again, cause the ps3 was too expensive and the blu ray was a piece of shit. The MS format was the best, hddvd or something...
Also she just got DESTROYED for the third time, since Kinect + always on + TV powaaa.
Yeah... every single beginning of gen... same old shit.
You guys never learn.... Eh?
Even Ms gave up on that shit.... They will probably start releasing games on Playstation and Nintendo (which they already do) soon...

There's room for two, I guess. I was just overdoing it lol. I'm excited for the start of next-gen, and I think fans of both bases will be greatly pleased at the results of the constant one-upping the companies engage in. I wonder if Sony will do a Game Pass model of their own?

They already have, its called Ps now.
Just a hot take:
Sony will never adopt the whole MS model they want to sell consoles, Ms gave up on that, they want to sell services.
MS said that they don't see Sony and Nintendo as a competition anymore, all this console war is becoming more and more silly... I believe we are long pass the Halo and God of War killers console war times.
As soon as the Ps5 starts having a reasonable user base, MS as services seller, will want to sell stuff there.... Because they want money.
In the end of day, Sony will sell more consoles than MS and MS will, probably, profit more with services, everybody wins... Minus some third party studios that will be under Epic, Steam, Sony, Nintendo and MS thumbs... Depending on how things proceeds... Which is kinda of scary for them...

Please think about yourself and your own money rather than worrying about "big publishers and developers".More proof that Gamepass could hurt the AAA gaming landscape.
I'm fine with paying $60 to own my games.
The ‘Netflix of gaming’ is coming, and video game makers are worried that their business could meet the same fate as music and movies
Game developers are worried Microsoft, Sony, and Apple are going to change the video game industry the way Netflix and Spotify changed TV and music.www.businessinsider.com
They'll adapt and survive, they'll have to.
EVERYTHING is going to go to a "netflix" style service eventually ( Except Stadia lol)
