This is some creative math. So the $20 a month people were then paying for GamePass didn’t amount for anything?
This is why the ex Bethesda guy said GamePass hurts developers. They’re making a killing on GamePass but they aren’t applying those numbers to game sales. Games on GamePass are expected to sell well outside of GamePass, so GamePass literally hurts games on the service. So who wins? Looks like just Microsoft.

It’s unclear if MS is even winning considering they’re trying to hike the price 50%, and considering that Xbox sales are flat.
Except they don’t win because their poor performance analysis leads them to close the studios that make gamepass worth subscribing to…
