In a recent social media post, Arkane Studios’ founder expressed strong concerns about Game Pass. He labeled the service as unsustainable and damaging to the gaming industry. Joining him in this critique was the publishing director from Larian Studios, further amplifying the message against the popular subscription model.
The criticisms raised focus on how Game Pass may negatively impact game development. The founders argue that the service could lead to a decline in quality as developers might prioritize quantity over creativity. This sentiment resonates with many in the gaming community who value immersive and innovative experiences over mere access to a vast library of titles. Game Pass has revolutionized access to games, but at what cost?
