Problem is that ppl who otherwise would have paid an X amount depending on date of purchase from release won’t pay now either.
Every gamer has genre preferences much deeper than other forms of entertainments.
That’s what these game developers usually encash.
Some ppl won’t give a sh*t that COD is now on GamePass but for hardcore that is content worth $70.
For ppl who don’t give a sh*t suddenly won’t start giving a sh*t.
That’s how deep genre preferences are in gaming unlike Movies,Shows & Music.
They just don’t change on the fly.
