I think this is quite incredible. State of Decay 2 was developed by a small (~60) team, got scathing reviews, is the jankiest game I've ever played in my life, and it's on Game Pass.
This is something I can't understand as well. While there may be a good game underneath all that jank, I don't think any dev/publisher should be rewarded for releasing a game in such a crappy state. The hunger for Xbox exclusives must be so big that Xbox fans just don't care anymore...
