Der findes mange der har svært ved at gennemskue Microsofts egentlige strategi med Xbox-brandet og Game Pass, efter de er begyndt at udgive samtlige eksklusive titler på PlayStation, og kørt ret stejle prisforøgelser i stilling.
Alligevel mener God of War-skaber og brancheveteran David Jaffe, at det er okay. Om ikke andet mener han fortsat at der er meget værdi for pengene, til trods for forøgelserne. I en video siger han dette:
“Game Pass has obviously increased their prices across the board. Game Pass Ultimate, which is what I’ve had at 20 bucks, is now 30 bucks. We were always expecting price increases. Every subscription service goes up. It’s a pretty steep increase for sure, but I won’t be cancelling. The number of games I listed are like 12 games. It’s a new game every month basically, and those are the big games like AAA games or whatnot, Call of Duty, Ninja Gaiden, and what have you, every single month.”
Og hvad så med ejerskab? Det kommenterer Jaffe også på, og slår fast at selvom han kan forstå kampen, så påvirker det ikke ham selv.
“Yes, you would own the games, and I know that’s important to some people who watch, and I respect that. I get that. But because I don’t really care about those things, I don’t really need to own the games,” he explained. “Once I’m done with Ninja Gaiden 4, I probably will never go back to it. I don’t need it on a shelf somewhere in my home.”
