Hail Sony
The same logic caused a flood to mobile. How'd that work out for them?This is about big publishers/developers, not the smaller indie studio who would get more exposure sometimes from these services
Because they can still charge microtransactions and build their games around them the further gaming goes the service routeEA is one of the biggest (or biggest) dev/publisher out there. They even made their own EA Access service.
If it's so bad, why would they bother doing it?
Yup.Exactly and this worries me a lot since these are the games that personally i find more interesting than anything in this industry. If mid-tier games disappear then all that we'll be left with will be safe, AAA blockbusters and hundrends small indie games to fill subscription services like Gamepass and whatever Sony makes.
This will be a terrible future for me.
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.Thank god sony doesn't have a program like this. Ms is trying to kill gaming.
And games on Gamepass and PS Now also have microtrans. And most of the time, the DLC isn't part of the sub download.Because they can still charge microtransactions and build their games around them the further gaming goes the service route
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.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.

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.
That basically means they need to adjust the budget that goes to make the games.I did. He is saying they just need to adapt and adjust their profit model. The sky isn't falling, things just change.
what happens when the next spiderman releases on sonys gamepass rip off?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.
It will be amazing and consumer friendly.what happens when the next spiderman releases on sonys gamepass rip off?
Same as any Gamepass like service lolwhat happens when the next spiderman releases on sonys gamepass rip off?
The opposite.It will be amazing and consumer friendly.
An Xbox consumer to be precise!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.
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.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.
An Xbox consumer to be precise!
Those people always existed, in the form of waiting to buy a game used.While you might have bought more games, there are others that admit to no longer buying games and that's bad for AAA gaming
PS Now is similar, except they cycle games more often... even first party games get removedThank god sony doesn't have a program like this. Ms is trying to kill gaming.
I don’t change my instance in things I think is bad for gamers and/or industry lollook 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.
And game design will only get worseAnd games on Gamepass and PS Now also have microtrans. And most of the time, the DLC isn't part of the sub download.
It would be a sign that the worst era of gaming is comingIt will be amazing and consumer friendly.
God I hope that doesn't happenlook 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.
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.And game design will only get worse
It would be a sign that the worst era of gaming is coming
Facts. He says the profit margin would be built into the game, meaning more monetization, and less funding into projectsThat basically means they need to adjust the budget that goes to make the games.

you have a few years.God I hope that doesn't happen
Trust me that if it does happen then I'll only play on old consoles since the inevitable quality drop in AAA games would followyou have a few years.
All for the sake of brand recognition. You can look at how they turned Windows into a service, office too.
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.Its not like new games gets released on game pass the same day as launch. I actually bought lots of games thanks to the game pass. SURPRISEEEEE!
Enough with the drama already
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
Sony can't release their version of Game Pass soon enough, these threads man....
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...
And Psnow has effected gaming, how?You are joking right, psnow was even out before gamepass.
They already have, its called Ps now.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?
To borrow one from the 360 era:Gamepass is the best thing happened to gaming industry in this Generation
And Psnow has effected gaming, how?
Right cause they never lie.I'll take the words of the people that are making the games
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
You came from the future? Last time I heard that lootbox was born.They'll adapt and survive, they'll have to.
