Oh man I love when companies make stupid tonedeaf decisions like this.
Hey you know how we haven’t made a great first party game in over a decade?
Yeah?
Well, what if to boost sales numbers we add a tier that ONLY gives you our lame first party games!
Because they refuse to see games as a creative artform. Or, they think they ate, but then do the worst corpo bs to them. This all reeks of some boardroom joining all their MBAs together to come up with this brilliant shit covered plan.

I personally don’t think anyone should pay for xbox game pass, but this is a bit of an exaggeration imho. Xbox Game Studios have published some great games in the past decade. Among them, in no particular order:
And that’s not even close to a full list, either. There’s also Flight Simulator, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush. Probably others I’m forgetting too.
There’s plenty to hate on MS for, and I’m not saying they haven’t squandered a lot of the talent they paid for, but to say they’ve released nothing great for over a decade is just ignorant.

Age of Mythology: Retold, and its 2 (soon to be 3) major expansions.
Careful, putting out the message that they’re amazing games could lead to the studios getting fired. Like what happened to Hi-Fi Rush.

I know of Age of Empires; but the others I don’t recognize, thought were Indie 500, or an actual Indie game.
