(Question from community member BMG)
What is everyone’s thoughts on the new PsPlus service now we have more information on games coming to the service, has it made you want to upgrade to a higher tier?An with the bonus of Ubisoft+ Classics added at no extra cost of the extra tier is even more value

I want to give friend of the show Insipid ghost from the xbox expansion pass podcast a great podcast weekly and he had another excellent interview this time with Ed fries who was part of the original Xbox launch team before his departure in 2004.

was asked what he would do were he still part of Microsoft’s gaming team today.
Fries didn’t give an explicit answer but said that he was ‘scared’ of the impact Game Pass could have, should it become a dominant business model like Spotify has in the music industry. He also made broad claims about Spotify’s impact on the music industry, some of which have been disputed by experts.

“The one thing that they’re doing that makes me nervous is Game Pass,” he said. “Game Pass scares me because there’s a somewhat analogous thing called Spotify that was created for the music

“People don’t buy songs on iPhone for example, because why would you? They’re all on your subscription service app. Apple’s said they’re going to take away buying songs because no one’s buying them any more.

“So we have to be careful we don’t create the same system in the game business. These markets are more fragile than people realise.

So with this in mind do you have any reservations about subscription services like xbox gamepass & PlayStation plus services and the fact they could potentially have a negative impact in the future?
