Isn't that more reflective of what xbox has had issues with? It should be it's own entity not beholden to the larger part of the company. They seem to not want to spend tons of money in long term investment in having it be byitself and be self sustaining on the quality of their software/brand. So they try and make that brand more watered down for a larger mass of people to consume.
It can go either way. It can go they become this giant gaming force that now is considered a big option for PC players, and has a re-insurgence of people interested in Gears, halo forze, fable, and what ever else they make.
Or they become a jack of all trades, with software that reflects that on their services.
It's one thing if the whole industry was going this direction. But even now adoption of services of games is still super low compared to dedicated software that runs locally.
There's no mobile sub out there that gives you a bunch of tensen games?
I can see more people playing Gears, halo when all of this is said and done. How many more is still to be seen, but if these new reboots for Halo, fable, and new IP's don't get people stoked, I don't know what else they can do.
I feel they should have concentrated on quality of out put first, and slowly build gamepass with those quality titles. Now it seems they are putting everyting under the sun under it. ANd that could have mixed results to be honest.
