Why Xbox Game Pass Is So Attractive For Devs, Whether It Cannibalizes Sales Or Not
Xbox Game Pass has quickly taken hold in the industry, representing a strategic shift for Microsoft that eschews a key part of the traditional model of console competition: namely, directly buying games. The subscription service offers an all-you-can-eat buffet of games from Microsoft itself, as well as third-party developers that Microsoft has partnered with to host its games. But how much does it benefit developers?
That question hasn’t been answered clearly, especially since the answer seems to vary by studios and the terms of agreements are not disclosed. Microsoft has not specified exactly how it makes deals, but comments from various developers suggest that it tailors the terms of each deal individually. Xbox head Phil Spencer told The Verge that the deals are “all over the place.” Microsoft seemed to concede recently that Game Pass can cannibalize game sales, but quickly clarified that it works with publishers to maximize their profits on an individual basis, while allowing room for “creativity and innovation.”
You won’t find many people in the industry more vocally positive about Game Pass than Mike Rose, founder of independent publisher No More Robots. He’s made a point of talking publicly about how Game Pass has helped his own company’s games, most recently in a detailed talk at GDC 2023. That talk, titled Why I Chose Game Pass: No More Robots Talks About Growing their Audience for Let’s Build a Zoo, went into an unusual level of detail and insight about the multiple benefits of putting Let’s Build a Zoo on Game Pass.

According to a study by swimwear brand Pour Moi, India holds the number one spot.
Coming in second is USA, followed by Sweden, Japan, Canada and Brazil.
But the UK fails to rank in the top 10, coming in at number 12.
To crunch the numbers, analysts at Pour Moi surveyed any posts that mentioned the words “attractive”, “sexy”, “beautiful”, “handsome”, “gorgeous”, “good looking”, “pretty” and “hot”.
The country mentioned was also analysed – and a score was created from the number of posts, comments and upvotes.
A spokesman for Pour Moi said: “We analysed Reddit data, scraping the number of posts and upvotes that spoke about attractive nations, to reveal which nationalities the world is most attracted to.
“To bring the findings to life, we used AI technology to discover what these attractive nations might look like.
“We asked AI to show us what ‘attractive’ looks like in each of these countries, and you can find the results within the data research below.”
Pour Moi also ranked the most attractive women and men by nationality, according to Reddit data.
A spokesman said: “Analysing the data by male and female, it’s Indian women that top the tables of the most attractive, followed by Japanese and Swedish women.
“When just looking at the male data, it’s British men that come out top as the most attractive. Followed once again by India, Italy and the USA and Sweden rounding out the top five.”
