I'm not sure how this could possibly be a revelation to anyone. That's the whole fukking point of the service. You pay for the service so you don't necessarily have to pay for the games.

Now, what would be really interesting to see is the conversion rate on people who buy the games at a discount once they've played it via Gamepass. If that ends up being crazy high or crazy low, it'd definitely be a surprise.

Even then it would have to be compared with the sale spike of discounted/on sale games in general.

@winb83, I thought you told us Gamepass was the future yet we can see it’s a system that’s unsustainable :mjlol:

The key reason is market share because Sony got close to a 2:1 split, so of course you'll cater to a bigger split.

I do feel the wait for gamepass mentality def got publishers unhappy because many will skip on non blockbuster AAAs and indies due to it.

Just like nintendo have trained their audience to buy their games at full price, microsoft has trained their audience to never pay full price for games or buy them at all
