Woah, this thread has moved fast haha. Great read and amazing work as always
Idas! Those Microsoft lawyers were not pulling any punches, huh XD haha. I hesitate to even call this standard legal stuff. Microsoft here is actually pretty aggressively going after Sony's arguments and their overall position. I think their response to Sony has far more bite than Sony's initial objections/concerns. The relevant bits have already been quoted and I haven't had time to read the discussion beyond the first page. But.. yea interesting stuff.
(And personally, I do think the MS answers address the concerns pretty comprehensively - including for the big question mark for whether or not gaming subscriptions should get treated differently from other forms of digital distribution. The "Players can always just skip Game pass" always felt a little bit disingenuous to me... but... this forum has shown me that plenty of people feel
exactly this way about Game Pass and other subscriptions. And so, the fact that every game on Game Pass can be purchased traditionally outside of the subscription is going to be key + is probably a pretty good argument against the idea of Game Pass exclusives. Granted, I haven't heard many people every bring that up, except Brad Sams [just speculating IIRC] I think. )
"A posição isolada da Sony pode ser provavelmente explicada pelo fato de que
a oferta de jogos por assinatura da Microsoft, o Xbox Game Pass ("Game Pass"), foi lançada
como uma resposta competitiva da Microsoft ao insucesso do Xbox na "guerra de consoles" e
à necessidade de ofertar aos jogadores valor adicional em relação ao modelo "buy-to-play"
tradicional."
They say they didnt have success in the console war, yes. "Failure" is too strong of a word though, they could have said it in portuguese if they wanted.
Heh, thanks. Maybe I should start using "Insuccess" instead of failure :(
