Disrespectful for what devs? Third party devs that get paid up front at a price that they agree to for a set period of time? Can't see why any devs would be upset about guaranteed, predictable money. First party devs that are getting funding to make their games and don't get paid directly based on how well their games sell on any given random service or store like most devs, but rather get a dependable, stable paycheck? Or first party studios that are clearly seeing huge investment in their projects - the ones that THEY want to do, whether that's funding and attention to make a niche AA Action Tactics game like Wasteland that's still MULTIPLATFORM or much smaller games like RAD, Grounded, or Bleeding Edge with unclear marketing and sales potential.
In fact, Game Pass makes those games MORE feasible, not less. It opens up these passion projects to more gamers than ever, precisely because the barriers to entry are so low. It frees dev to be creators first and foremost, not salespeople. It's disrespectful to think the normal market isn't a far, far more dehumanizing and crushing environment than Game Pass.
