I’m Worried Game Pass Is Killing Xbox
Xbox Game Pass has long been heralded as the best deal in gaming, and while that likely remains true, I'm growing concerned about its effect on the Xbox brand at large. By all accounts, Xbox should be firing on all cylinders; a landmark lawsuit victory against the Federal Trade Commission kept Microsoft's historic acquisition spree alive, this year's Xbox Games Showcase was packed with announcements to make it the best presentation at Summer Game Fest, and a new, lax exclusive strategy is beginning to make Xbox Game Studios titles more widely available. Xbox Game Pass, however, feels almost incompatible with the gaming industry.
