Weekly Hot take. While I am enjoying subscription based game libraries. They will be the death of quality game releases.

I think this is exactly the reason why Sony is not putting their exclusives on the service. They are making you pay $60-70 for the effort and quality. Whenever the math says that a game's expected revenue is equal that of the subscription they'll make it available but not before. So I think that will preserve the upper limit and allow indies and smaller studios to charge what they do, rather than leading consumers into a period of entitlement where they expect all games to be "free" with their subscription.
At least Nintendo is never going to stop charging full price, no matter what.

Agreed. The true gems of the Sony portfolio - God of War, Horizon, TLoU - they won’t be included as free; they’ll remain outside but periodically go on sale. I’m ok with that.

I am interested in seeing what happens to games that are developed with sky high budgets. The flip side though I really really like some indie games that I wouldn't have otherwise played without XGP

I wonder what kinds of deals you have to strike to get your game on game pass or extra. How much money comes in using that method compared to direct release.

Any successful angles/negotiation tactics/DC laws that worked in your favor (relative to the public health crisis/pandemic) would be greatly appreciated. For context, lease technically ends Dec 9, but am looking to get out before then

I weekly Hot take. There is far to much hand holding when it comes to map exploration in many Open world games. I rarely ever use the mark feature because the map is already lit up with way points for every little thing. Take genshin impact. It will lead you to your next quest objectives but any secrets or collectibles don't have a way point. You can even see on 3rd party maps how obnoxious it would be if they all did.
