Kotaku’s article on the alleged Xbox Game Pass crisis generated numerous reactions as expected, Microsoft defended itself with a Tweet but other personalities close to the Redmond house also intervened on the story.
Brian Fargo of inXile spoke well of Microsoft and the company’s ideas to carry on the business while the insider Timdog (always close to Xbox) commented on a message in which he spoke of a mass exodus from Xbox Game Pass due to the postponement of prominent games like Starfield and Redfall.
Timdog returns these allegations to the sender pointing out how “Xbox Game Pass is still very strong“and on June 12 it will expand again thanks to the news of the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase event. Timdog does not deny in any case that the postponement of highly anticipated games is a detriment to Xbox Game Pass but the situation is not as bad as it is described by those who only want to criticize the service regardless of its real value.
In the last few hours, the founder of No More Robots has also defended Xbox Game Pass by explaining how thanks to the agreements with Microsoft immediately repaid the development costs of his titles and immediately obtained profits that with the traditional sale would have taken a long time before collecting.
