Goukosan 2,256 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) This is the cost (or what MS expects the publisher would ask for) of getting games day one on Game Pass: Star Wars Jedi Survivor - $300M Suicide Squad - $250M Assassin's Creed Rift - $100M Gotham Knights - $30M Dying Light 2 - $50M LEGO Star Wars - $35M Baldur's Gate 3 - $5M (after Larian's huge success, I don't think it will be only $5M anymore) GTA V - $12-$15M per month Red Dead 2 - $5M per month. Mortal Kombat 1 - $250M Dragon Ball: The Breakers - $20M Return to Moneky Island - $5M Wreckfest 2 - $10-$14M Just Dance - $5M Blood Runner - $5M Glitch Busters - $5M MS literally spending hundreds of millions of dollars to beg publishers for games LemiJ - "Nintendo and Sony copying gamepass anyday now" Edited September 19, 2023 by Goukosan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is proof, right here, that GamePass doesn't make money. They've been LOSING MONEY, and they've just been hiding the accounting from being seen publicly and by stockholders. Remember. The whole WGA strike is due to the fact that one of the negotiating points is that they want the studios to disclose the streaming revenues. And they don't want to do that. Because many people believe that Warner Bros, Disney, and Paramount, and Comcast are HIDING those numbers from stockholders, because they're losing money. Netflix can't hide them, and they're barely profitable just recently Microsoft is absolutely doing the same thing. And they're doing it because they're actively trying to hurt third parties and sales of their retail games, and are intentionally trying to tank the value of games.

Playstation Tablet 1,728 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I bet Zelda had like a 50 million budget Nintendo is better of making their own games and partnering up with studios like atelier and PG than ever attempting this ghetto shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cooke 2,030 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 If MS wants to waste all that money so I can play those games for cheap then go for it lol. Makes no difference to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FIREPOWER 730 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Loss leader business model of a company with billions to throw away. Also something that neither Nintendo nor Sony can sustain. It's an idiotic business model and definitely not the future of gaming. Only morons think putting AAA games day and date on a subscription service is the future.
