Xbox Game Pass isn't just a subscription--it's a new transformative business model that is changing consumer buying habits in a very interesting way.
Review - It's quite the challenge to keep everyone alive, but in Eternal Threads it has enough intrigue to keep you going until the very end
XBA says: You will find it easy to fall in love with the feeling that Botany Manor presents you with.
TSA writes: Fabledom offers one of the most well-rounded takes on the city-builder genre, mixing addictive kingdom-building with a fun and unique dose of fairytale shenanigans.
Interesting nah, bad yea.
Anyway article says
The introduction of Game Pass as the first multi-game content library subscription
I'd like to point out a little thing called sega TV from early 90s. They seem to overlook that completely, not even a mention. My bad sega channel, and it ran over cable TV not the internet, same damn thing practically

As far as these days , again calling ms the first completely wrong seeing as ps now was out before gamepass. Ps now was out jan 2014, while gamepass came out june 2017. 3 years before gamepass. Do some research for fks sake.
Interesting?
Instead of pirating it I get to play for free with Microsoft edge. Somehow the feeling feels almost like I'm pirating the game except it's legal. I'm not sure that's very interesting it almost feels like a joke.
Really changed my buying habits I know for certain I will never need to buy another Xbox game studios game.
There were a number of game subscription services before Game Pass
It wasn’t the first
Only on the xbox side really.
I buy games consistently for my ps5 and switch, on my series x though and even x one I haven't bought a game on xbox for years at this point.
Xbox is my gamepass machine, which I think is the case for most xbox users when u look at the sales difference of games on other platforms compared to xbox.
Ms can afford to take the hit so I'm happy to take as much from them as possible.
Nintendo and Sony can't afford to suffer the same hit as Ms does and still be in the games business so I spend my money there.
It has become an excuse to release unfinished/broken games. If they find an audience they are fixed over time (Sea of Thieves), if they don't they are ignored and forgotten (RedFall).
It really has become a dumpster with few AAA / GOTY releases. I think it works for games like Exoprimal (that would be DOA without a "free" release).....
