Message: [QUOTE="Ezri_Muldoon, post: 129374, member: 29375"] It won't if Microsoft recongnises that any inhouse game released day one on gamepass can't be judged based on sales. It can only be judged on subscriber engagement. If you're developing a title for gamepass then its to boost gamepass subscriptions. Day one, week one or first quarter sales on Xbox are irrelevant. That doesn't mean Microsoft can't judge a multiplatform release by day one sales. But like with any subscription service no one is directly purchasing a single product, you could instead list expectations based on subscriber engagement (data Microsoft absolutely has) and determine whether something in a success or failure depending on its player count, and thus subscribers who are engaging with the ecosystem. The problem is Microsoft hasn't made this transition from sales to engagement yet and that's killing studios [/QUOTE]
