CD3 is a bomba without a doubt on the mind but it is going to be difficult going forward. I know many people including myself are using Netflix or other streaming services as an example, but if a Netflix movie has 100M budget, at what point does it "break even"?It's hilarious how no one knows how much games make money on Game Pass but the narrative for every MS game will be that Game Pass prevents it from being a bomba.
They really did quite the PR spinnage with that service.
How many hours played or "unique players" that are introduced by Game Pass are needed for a game to be considered a "success"? I'm still surprised by the review thread and this one by how many people expected this game to be good, this game had disaster written all over it for years now.
The real question is if Game Pass can at least push some life into projects like this or not.
