Gamepass is 2-3 times more expensive than Apple Arcade, has games that contain micro transaction, and you can also buy the games when they get on sale. Plus you have to have gold to play a majority of those games. It's a much more lucrative subscription than Apple Arcade
Your small minded console warrior blood boiling cry almost makes me want to feel sorry for you. If that's your reaction to a game being successful, then your life is going to be hell. Lol probably already is
You don't see other publishers because they are making their own services. EA, UBI etc already have their own services. And you do see Capcom, Square enix and WB games on gamepass
You could just... play Xbox in addition to PlayStation and Nintendo?
It was a response to the tweet saying Microsoft business mode was locking you into their platform. I feel the idea of playing other systems is the opposite of what Microsoft wants, especially with a sub service.
Lock in doesn't mean you're locked in at the expense of others, in this case it means you're locked in in addition to the others.
You're completely right and I hope it's really successful and convinces the other two to put out something equally competitive.
The games are probably 5 times more expensive to make and Apple has a wider user base with iPhones. I also doubt that the majority of people that paid for the sub will buy the games.
The thing is, you can just buy the game if you care that much about it and if it ever leaves Game Pass (you even get a discount don't you?)
Exactly, which maybe good news if the console is on the expensive side.
