Because Microsoft's gaming division is basically funded by gamepass, gamepass is the only reason it isn't hemorrhaging money like every other genWell I'm pretty confident that, other than some marketing, Game Pass does not fund any of the development of the first party games, why should it?
You see, that's the problem with saying Game Pass is profitable, he isn't lying, it will be, but that isn't the whole picture and that's what people have an issue with. I think Game Pass has been profitable for a while IF you take first party games out of the equation, but include those and I personally don't think its even remotely close.
Think of it this way, every time MS buys one of these huge publishers then why doesn't the Game Pass profits massively drop? they would have to start paying for the development of all of Bethesda's games for example, and soon all of Activision/Blizzard.
I think people are quick to forget the gaming division of microsoft has been mostly a massive failure in terms of generating revenue for Microsoft as a company
And their first party developers are part of Microsoft's gaming division
