They also seem to think that this is only Japanese games, but a lot of indies and mid-sized games just skip xbox, and have been for a while.

This is Gamepass' and MS's legacy. No platform holder has ever brought the industry down instead of lifting it up.
Streaming and subscription services was a mistake for movies/shows, and it's a mistake for video games as well. Sony needs to wake up and stop following the last place losers
"Profits at the biggest entertainment companies fell almost 90% over the last decade (from $23.4B to $2.6B)."
And all because companies couldn't live with the idea that people want to own their content. Fucking destroyed their own industry because they'd rather have people live with revokable licenses and pay less money than provide actual value to the buyer but lose control of the product once it's sold. The profession of corporate law is despicable.

Xbox is really crumbling before our very eyes.
This is the consequence of mass consolidation: Several renowned Multi-platform studios like InXile, Obsidian Entertainment, Mojang for example and on top two huge publishers in a row. The price for their greed did cost them everything.

This is not all Netflix's fault, Disney did it to themselves with their garbage movies and TV shows. They killed Marvel AND Star wars!

Sure, nobody would have wanted to watch great movies and TV shows...
I know why I did not renew their service when the time came.
Obviously with the kids spending more and more time on social media and games that leaves less for that kind of content... but if Disney made something worthwhile more would have tuned into their service as to others.
Your entire premise is flawed, whether the content was amazing or garbage, you renewing your $10 subscription was never going to be enough. Before streaming you either paid $5-$10 to rent ONE movie, or you bought the movie for $20-$30. Streaming services are inherently an awful business model.
It’s also not a coincidence that as streaming becomes more popular that quality declines. It’s almost as if lower profits lead to lower budgets which lead to inferior quality
Applies to video games, music, movies, and shows. Gamers should be grateful that the la carte, direct to consumer model is still dominant. And hopefully it never goes away.

It’s just a rumour but could be true (their intentions I mean).
This is why Sony needs to buy publisher themselves.

VRS, VRR, 12tf, I love Starfield, but not as much as redfall... thankfully they are both free on Gamepass!
I'll repeat it as often as I need to! I'll even do threads on random indie games and insinuate that gamepass is the only place to play them!
Some seem to say that there is a "ruse" there, but which publishers are they in the process of buying? That makes no sense.
A cult
That's a virgin speaking lol
Maybe he is in an open relationship, so it really doesn't do anything to him (until it does, there is always some kind of barrier... even for those who claim they are poly, or in an open relationship)...
Still, a very strange thing to say.
